Possible disease on young transplant

luvmykitty · June 16, 2012

Good afternoon,
These 2 plants (from the same source) have light brown patches on the stems. Most of the leaves look fine, one has a small brown dot on it. Are the stems a symptom of early blight, or another disease? My first thought was to just throw these 2 out, what do you think?

I'd burn them or throw them away in the trash not the compost pile, because that looks really unhealthy to me.

Tania posted a notice about late blight in your area somewhere else today, and I can't tell if it's that or not, but you want to look.

Welcome to the forum, BTW. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news on my first answer to you.
