So it looks like my first time happy journey of growing tomatoes came to a halt. I found these spots on my tomato leaves and it look like some kind of bacterial or fungal infection that is eating the leaves away. I found this page with some good info but I couldn't match my problem with any of diseases shown: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/DiagnosticKeys/To...

Just for precaution I removed all the leaves with these spots, about 30% to 40% of leaves from each plants, but my guess is the bacteria are in the plants and they are done for. I sprayed the plants with baking soda, don't know if that will help any.

Fortunately, my black cherry tomatoes are resistant to this even thought they are next to the infected plants.

Please let me know if you know what type of disease it is, thanks.
