Brown spots on tomato and pepper plants-mostly on the bottom leaves
This summer has been cool and wet one week, and hot, dry and windy the next. My poor plants are suffering, plus we got them in later because of the cool weather. I started spraying them with some fungicide hoping to save them. This is not just my garden-I have been hearing this from several people in the county.

Your soil needs calcium. I had this start last season and added calcium to my soil on the advice of a friend...she called it bottom rot. So I did as suggested and it turned things around for me. I hope it works for you to.

There are several things that could be affecting your plants.Tomato early blight alternarie, septoria leaf spot, bacterial spot of tomatoes and peppers, to name a few. I would google the problem, as it will help you determine which you may have. Calcium is for blossom end rot that occurs on the fruit itself. There are a lot of fungus, etc. caused by having lots of rain, and then hot weather.
