What’s up with my tomatoes? 🍅

Stephen_Maturin

Hello all, my first year growing tomatoes, have 3 plants (two standard, one cherry, all indeterminate varieties) in a grow bag in the conservatory. They’ve grown at an impressive rate since planting at the end of March, each is about 1.8m tall and each has set a good crop of fruit. Only the cherry variety are beginning to ripen, despite being the last to produce fruit.

I’ve lately noticed these mottled dark marks, mostly on the lower leaves, with the middle (standard variety “Shirley”) showing the most. I presume it’s a disease of some kind but having googled, the marks look different to the usual septoria leaf spot etc which are showing up in most of my searches.

Anyone more experienced have any ideas? Thank you

It could be blight . I've Been growing tomato for a few years (absolutely far from an expert) but I get similar every now and then and find cutting them of works. As a rule I cut the lower leaves off upto to about 2ft,higher as the plant grows. using a fungicide might be no harm. But personally haven't had to yet.
