| Hi, wondering if anyone here can identify the malady in the attached photos. I have three plants wit these black spots. Mainly on older foliage, but I am also seeing some develop on ne foliage. I was thinking a bacterial spot or speck? Thanks so much. |

| Could be bacterial (spot and speck are a little hard to tell the difference except on the fruit), but I see more of a general yellowing, not the halos. I'm thinking septoria. It's been cool and humid lately. Do you see any spores close-up? Spray with a fungicide - supposed to rain tomorrow so you may want to wait. BTW, going to get cold up here in the hills Sat night too, you might want to move the bucket(s) inside the garage or throw a sheet over the plants Sat morning. |

| Yes, septoria was my initial thought. I've been using daconil since. Interestingly, I see it only on my containerized determinates. I do bring them in to the salon off of the deck if it goes below 50...so they've been sleeping with me quite a bit lately. Thanks for the input. Patrick- Woodbury, CT |

| Ah, you're not as far north as we are, more like "Midwest" CT so hopefully you won't get as cold. How low did it go there last night? I didn't check until nearly 6AM but it was 45 here. We bought a chicken coop from a neighbor, picked it up last night, he had his pots out and I had to warn him - don't know how long they've been outside, they looked good. I don't think he left them out in the 1/2" of rain we had Tuesday. |

| My digital was at 39F at 6am. I'm in a valley with a large pond, so I assume that contributes to cold. Have to go pull off the covering on 40 ground planted tomatoes now. I won't even begin with the peppers... These last two weeks have given me such anxiety, with all the rain and erratic temps. At least the cabbages, lettuce, and radishes are in heaven. |

| Oh, yeah, frost pocket. Good luck! |
