My husband planted a veggie garden this year. Our tomato plants are just loaded but we have a few that have somekind of virus I think?
Tomatoes with spots?
just another one
Would this be the same thing?

yep that would be the issue
So what is the problem? Is it going to spread? Is it curable?
I think this is a link to that site to explain it. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tomatoproblemsolver/greenfruit/6b.html
thank you
Commercially available products such as Kocide 101™ are used both by organic and conventional gardeners to treat problems with bacterial spot.

Bacterial Spot produces circular scabby spots on immature fruits and on leaves. Tomatoes and Sweet peppers are effected. The bacterium is seed-borne and is often carried on diseased transplants. It can also occur in certain weeds . It overwinters in soil and on old plants and pepper plants. Bacterial spot is favored by warm temperatures , high humidity, long dew periods, and driving rain. Recommended treatment - Bonide Remedy Fungicide
