I have four large potted tomateo plants, all smaller varieties.
This morning, I noticed the leaves on all of them had a brownish/pink spotting.
Any ideas what it might be or how to control it.
The only thing I could come up with is Septoria leaf spot which is a fungus. While it does not look exactly like that, I am hoping someone will know how to treat a leaf fungus.
It's not bad enough something (like a deer or ground hog) is nibbling the outer leaves, now I've got fungus! This is why I gave up on gardening.
Thanks.

@Witchy Woman I'm not certain about your leaves; however, I have read that tomatoe plants should be watered into the dirt and don't like their leaves wet.

Yes, I have heard the same. However, it has been so rainy, I have not watered them at all.
I suspect it is some kind of leaf fungus and picked up a Safer brand fungus/mite/insect control product hoping to stem the tide of leaves turning.
It's a never ending battle in this area!

@Witchy Woman Can you post a picture of the infected leaves? My son grows several types of tomatoes and will most likely be able to tell you what the problem is.

How kind of you. I will try doing so. It is raining right now, so I'll have to wait.
In the meantime, I went out this afternoon and bought Bonide Fung-onil, which is supposed to prevent many types of plant fungus.
Seems there is always something waiting to attack plants!

@Witchy Woman Rained and t-stormed a lot here too. If you can get a picture up, I'll show it to him.

I didn't forget you! Just have not had time to take and post the pictures.
However, good news...the Bonide Fungonil prodcut seems to have helped a great deal. Some leaves remain discolored, but the fungus appears diminished on most leaves.
Hoping this solves the problem.

@Witchy Woman That's great! As long as it works, that's all that matters.
