That looks to be septoria leaf spot, it’s a type of fungal disease that spreads from leaf to leaf. I’d pull off all the affected leaves, then spray with a copper fungicide, until it hopefully doesn’t arise in any other leaves. Also disinfect any garden tools or shears you use on this plant before using on others. Try not to water the plants from above, and mulch around the plants for better airflow. Also, at end of season do not compost these and disinfect any cages

Thanks. Just seeing this message. I’ll take care of it.

I have neem oil. Will that work?

#### Alyssa ha respondido el 2025-02-02

No unfortunately neem oil doesn’t have the right ingredients to combat fungal problems, that needs to be handled by an actual fungicide.

#### Kaylene ha respondido el 2025-02-03

Ok. I’m new to this. I don’t know anything about these chemicals.

The neem oil I have says it’s a fungicide
