So, I’m new to tomatoes.
First off some info on the tomatoes plots.
Plot 1 is the green house, soil is a clay topsoil from an external place full of nettle seeds and mixed with some really cheap B&Q compost a foot deep perhaps? Below that is the garden clay possibly with a little cement.
Plot 2 is outside, along a wall south facing. I’ve had problems in this plot already, my garlic got white rot (mostly pulled and burnt, everything sterilizing including path.) Previously the plot had been completely overrun with amongst other things, annoying bulbs, (the ones that look like a bit like bluebells but aren’t!) I have a feeling it’s been unchanged since 1930, left wild for a good 5 years and is thus riddled with all sorts of bad ***.
Starting in plot 2, spots. This was kind of a ‘uuh good luck tomatoes!’ plot as I have a mix of tomatoes that may not all be suited to the UKs wonderful climate. But I added garlic to keep the slugs off and probably basil(?) that helps them fruit or fruit more or something!

I did a little digging and came up with 2 possible answers, but I’d rather here it from you guys as to what it is and the best course of action to take. This is infecting 1-2 tomatoes plants ‘lightly’. Have not noted any ‘target like’ patterning.
However that’s just my eye, older leaves are unhappy and may have had spots to. I looked up unhappy leaves and it to me looked like it was just lacking in potassium or magnesium. From the images I’ve seen I’m siding to magnesium for the fact the leaves seem to curl and such, which is something I am also seeing. But I’m also seeing things that don’t match the descriptions I got, such as the dark blueish-purple between the veins, or just on the tips of the leaves and some leaves dying. The far right image of below, one of the worst, the stem of the leaves has also discoloured somewhat though this one is alone so far. I can’t help think that it’s something more.

Plot 1, the one I hope is nothing to drastic, in the green house, tomatoes almost all have this forming on them. What is it will it make them inedible? And how to deal with?
