| I'm growing about 10 different heirloom tomatoes in buckets and I'm starting to have some problems on 1 or 2 plants. Its starting on the bottom leaves and looks like it might be spreading up. im not sure if its a disease or nutrient burn or deficiency. Overall the plants look healthy they are putting out flowers and branching out. i just want to make sure the problem dosen't spread.

| After looking at some charts I'm thinking Bacterial Speck. Anyone with more experience have any thoughts. This is only my second year growing tomatoes. |
|
| Can you post pictures ? |

| Judging from that picture, I would not be alarmed. It is normal for the lower leaves to yellow and die/fall off. To be safe, I would just cut off those leaves. I would also give the plants a light dose of fertilizers. They look a bit pale to me.' |

| yeah i noticed the pale leaves its only on that one plant and its the biggest so maybe its using more nutes than the others. i had given some bird guana a couple days before the picture, it didn't seem like it helped so i gave it some fish emulsion today. |

| Yellowing bottom leaves are normal, trim and remove from the garden area as they might be blighted. Mulch plants to avoid dirt splash as it can damage leaves. I grow 'better boy' in cages with three stems (two are the lowest suckers) and remove 1/3 to 1/2 of all leaves to provide better air circulation. Very productive. |
