Help! Last week I noticed some black curled edges on a few tomato leaves and now it appears to be spreading fast. It's mostly on one plant but another has started to show the same symptoms - and I only have 3 tomato plants.
Here's a link to some photos. I appreciate any feedback - thanks!

What excellent resources! Thanks very much.
I'm not the person who asked the question, but I'm very glad to have these sites.

Hmmm. My interpretation based on the links of the other responder is that it's Bacterial Spot. The stated cause is also consistent with what may have happened. I did plant these in a new location, but it was a location that had peppers last year. In fact, I left the some of the peppers over winter which may have also contributed to the problem. Also, the compost I used may have been contaminated with diseased plants. I didn't know to avoid putting those into compost last year - doh!
I'll try some copper fungicide and see if I can salvage any of them.
Thanks, thats a good one too.
