My tomato plants have brown spots, what can I do?

Hi there, I am so upset. I thought I was doing so well with my tomato plants in the greenhouse, considering the weather. One plant developed wilty leaves about a month ago. I chucked it out. Then I noticed wilty leaves on 2 adjacent plants. As they were growing so nicely I kept them. Those 2 plants now have wilty leaves AND reddish-brown spots on them. The rest of the tomatoes aren't yet affected. I don't have anything else in the greenhouse, only tomatoes of different varieties. What can I do to stop this? Any advice would be much appreciated

Does it look like blight? If so, Chuck them. I got blight free seeds this year but they’re just not growing as it’s been so cold.

We'd need a picture to advise.

Some brown spots are perfectly normal, some indicate a need for feeding, and some are disease.

@DustyLee123 - thank you again for your reply. Please find the photo attached. I don't believe my tomato plants need any food, I planted them into rich compost. I do remember I had some blight last year, but very limited and very late in the season. Does it look like blight? Any organic remedies or gental fungicides?

I don't think it is blight. Unlikely this early in the season under glass, although nothing would surprise me this year 😕. The stems aren't dark, which would happen with blight. I would remove a few discoloured leaves and keep everything well watered.

That looks completely normal. Tomato leaves always do that.

Do feed them, though - even rich compost runs out of nutrients surprisingly quickly with tomatoes. They're hungry plants.
