I have a plastic greenhouse containing cucumbers, courgettes and three
types of tomoatoes; plum, golden and russian black. Everything was
going well until last week when some of the leaves on my tomoato plants
have started to go get black spots on them. The spot spreads and then
the leaves die off. This is now affecting some of the side shoots and
is working it's way up the plant. It seems to have spread and my
cucmber leaves are starting to die off. I regularly feed the plants as
the tomatoes now have small fruit on them. I water them once per day in
the evening but it is very humid in there at the moment. The plants are
in grow bags and I live in the North East of Scotland. I am not sure if
that has anything to do with it! Any comments would be greatly
appreciated as I will be a bit gutted if I lose everything!

Heat + humidity = mold.

Open green house (top and bottom, or from end to end) to allow escape of
moisture, and don't wet the leaves or flowers while watering.

You can probably wipe the mold off. You may try a dilution of
1 tsp. baking soda
hand soap (not detergent)
1 qt. water

Dissolve baking soda in the warm water, then add the rest. Wait for all
to dissolve and use.

It would be a good idea to clip off any mold that won't wipe off.
