Hello all!! I’m somewhat new to gardening, having tried growing habaneros last season and failing lol. I’ve recently started a 4*4 raised bed with Miracle Gro Organic Raised bed soil. I need some advice please. I just recently transplanted 2 types of tomato plants to my bed, they just recently sprouted their second set of true leaves. Went to check them this morning and they look like they’ve got fuzzy fungus on them that seemed to appear overnight. I’ve also got a couple herbs in there as well. Rosemary, thyme and oregano. Also have one squash, one cucumber and chives. I’d hate to do it, but should I just trash the tomato plants before the fungus spreads? Also, I bought a lemon balm plant from Home Depot that looks suspect upon bringing it home. I’ll leave a picture, looks diseased to me. Should I return it? Thanks to anyone who reads this, any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hello one issue with the miracle grow mix may be holding too much moisture. The picture of the lemon balm doesn’t show anything too suspicious , but the darker coloring on the leaf could be the beginning of sunscald in the event that the plant wasn’t sufficiently hardened off. Posting pictures of the tomatoes and other plants in the bed could prove very helpful
