Garden

[Witchy Woman]

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.
