one of my tomato plants has started to get dark spots on the leaves, it's mainly on the leaves that are on the middle of the plant, i've removed the affected leaves in the hope that it doesn't get any worse.
anyone seen anything like this.

It looks very much like magnesium deficiency to me, what with the interveinal yellowing and all. It's brought on by a nutrient imbalance, usually as a result of overfeeding. It's easily cured with a dose of Epsom salts.
