    My tomatoes have some disease, leaves get brown spots and then go yellow, fruit is not affected. They are tumbling tom, growing in a tunnel. Any ideas ? 20250523_164032.jpg

    Looks like a nutrient deficiency, could be magnesium which is a common issue with tomatoes.

    Try a foliar spray of Epsom salts, usually correct the problem in a few days.

      I actually gave them Epsom salts while watering them today, would that be enough or should I spray them as well ?

      A foliar spray works faster, if you are using a pressure sprayer then wet the undersides of leaves for maximum absorption.
