Hollyhocks?

I have alot of Hollyhocks and they all have wholes in the leaves some of them bigger than others what Im i doing wrong, is this the work of a pest like slugs or moths or am I wattering too much or too less ????

Hollyhocks?
You have some kind of beetle type of pest devouring the plant. Check the underside of the leaves as this is where they will normally lay eggs etc. If you can get a couple samples of the bug and take it to a local nursery they may be able to identify it and suggest a repelent.
Reply:Something is eating them, you could try insecticidal soap. If its slugs you could set out tuna cans of beer.
