Thank you so much for your response. I had looked at bacterial leaf spot, but I swear I am always second guessing myself.
So I should cut all affected leaves even if strips the plant down quite a bit? or just the worse ones and use the fungicide treatment as you indicated.
I will definitely go and get that today and start using immediately.

Thanks again :)


You can do without removing the affected leaves, but if you do be careful to wash your hands and your tools afterwards.
On grown plants you may want to remove all leaves under the first grape of tomatos: Xanthomonas sp (the cause of bacterial leaf spot) is chiefly spread by water splashes and thrives in the humid, shady conditions you find at the bottom of the plant.
And as I always say: Gardeners, keep your secateurs sharp and your Bordeaux mixture ready. Copper-based fungicides are the one cure that should never miss from any garden because they are so useful. It's a close toss up between it and lime sulfur, but copper is just too useful to do without.
The Saviour.
