Default Early Blight on Toms

Yes, its Early Blight as apposed to Late Blight showing early! They are
two similar but different diseases.

Early Blight is early in the US where it's more of a problem but is usually
late in the UK and whilst it will damage foliage it rarely affects cropping
much.
Feeding your plants is important to help ward off this disease.
It is also very important you remove any affected foliage and don't let it
remain on/in the ground over winter as that can carry the infection over to
the next year.
Good luck.
