Just got back into gardening after many years of not bothering and grown

early (two weeks ago) now I notice the lower leaves have black spots on
them and not looking very good.
I Googled for an answer but I'm not sure I've had the definitive reply
exactly, so far it's only the lower leaves and the plants have started
to grow again after the sudden shock of all that cold rain...are they
doomed do you think?

I had same problem with plastic greenhouse... trying to get early crop
in Southern Cal. I sprayed with very dilute Naccosan and cut off the
affected leaves. Removed plastic and all is Ok now.

Thanks for the replies Rondoc and the others I though when I posted I was talking on a UK forum so by south I meant London ! but I guess basic principles apply
I can't do anything until I know which of the replies are nearest to what's going on for me I suspect higher fertility might be needed in ground that has been uncultivated for some few years.
Thanks again.
