    blight. Remove and dispose of them ASAP and consider spraying with a fungicide.

    Let me clarify--remove and dispose of the branches that have spots, not the plants. :)

    I've got these too. It took a little looking around , but I found, on mine, it's Septoria Leaf Blight. I've cut and bagged any affected looking leaves (don't compost them!). The good news is, if it's Septoria, it shouldn't affect your fruits, just leaves, and your plant may be able to out grow it.

    It's from all the damp weather. Try to increase air circulation around the plants. Leaves that remain wet are very susceptable to blights and fungi. Removing the infected leaves will be a two-fer.

    Agree with Drew, : Remove and destroy all affected and lower leave near the ground AND put some kind of mulch around the plants. THis should provide air circulation and help prevent soil/wetness born diseases.
