Growing Tomatoes

two different issues?

9 years ago

Just noticed some yellow leaves on my Mortgage Lifter and two containers away my Lemon Boy had a little bit of spotting on one branch. I cut of all affected leaves. The rest of the leaves on these two plants (as well as the other five varieties in the same vicinity) are growing vigorously in GeoPots with 5-1-1 so I'm not that concerned (yet).

Can someone identify these issues so I can take corrective action?

Could it be due to applying DE as an insect preventative? I've only applied it twice (after a rain storm) and the applications were about two weeks apart.

Mortgage Lifter....

Lemon Boy....

Top pic is Early Blight. Can't tell what with second photo. Need a close up of the leaves.

Here's a closeup of #2. In the original pic you may notice that something was munching on the leaves on the right hand size of that branch.
