Help! Can someone help me identify what is wrong with my tomato plant? Something has been slowly spreading, fruit seems fine so far though. I've been trying to pick off affected leaves and stems in case it's fungal or something.

Succulent❤️MamaMine kept doing this every year and I finally figured out it needed fertilizer. I was accidentally fixing it but couldn’t put my finger on the problem.😄 I was potting it in soil enriched with compost and fertilizer. Then I would turn on the irrigation system to water them every day and go off to enjoy summer with my kids. But then 1-2 months later it looked like this. That is when it is 90-100 here and I attributed it to that, but also pulled off all affected leaves just incase it was fungal. I would then show it TLC and give it fertilizer and extra water to help it survive the heat. It would always perk back up and I would be relieved I saved it. It took me a couple years to realize it was just my ADHD self forgetting to fertilize them. 🤪 Oops!😅 So I added planta as one of my tools to help me remember to check on my plants before they looked so bad. Hopefully that’s all it is for you! I use this and buy it from Amazon since I can’t always find it in stores.

Sometimes what works is putting tums pills by the bottom of the plant or putting marigolds by it: tums will gel with rot on the bottom of the fruit, and marigolds will keep pests away. Not exactly what you are looking for, but could help you keep them healthy

Goober2019Hey! Just curious I am sure someone else is also wondering hehe, Should tums be placed beneath the soil really by the roots, or on top of the soil by base of plant?

I believe with the roots underneath, but for clarification you can search it up
