Hmm, looks like several things at once.  Some of the splotchy wilted look 
reminds me of damage from Tobacco Mosaic Virus, also called TMV.  The holes 
look like insect damage, and/or the possibility that the wind has thrashed 
the plants against that brick wall.  Maybe you should try growing in 
containers next time.

Meanwhile, you could console yourself with a bit of indulgence in fresh pods 
from a produce selection, and experiment with them to see what you like 
before the next growing season.
