My tomato plants have white marks on some of the leaves?

I am new to tomato gardening, so bear with me. On a couple of the plants, a few of the leaves have white marks that are squiggly and about 1/2 inch long. The plants seem healthy and are beginning to bear fruit. Is this normal? Does it indicate some deficiency in the soil, or indicate that I need to fertilize or something? They look really good otherwise.

Squiggly marks in the leaves can be leaf miners, you can kill them by simple smooshing the leaves with the squiggles or remove the effected leaves.
Reply:If they are just white spots, it may be a type of fungus. We used to keep all kinds of vegetables (I'm a country girl), and sometimes the tomatoes and pumpkins would get a similar growth...Here's what you do:


Get a pitcher and fill it with a bit of dish soap and water.


Go up to your plants and rub it on the parts where there are white spots. Just go ahead and use your hands, but be gentle, scrubbing the stuff off.


Then get out your hose and give it a good rinse. This should ward off the fungus, but we had to do this at least three times throughout the summer.


Oh, and make sure that you do this either in the morning or at night. Obey the gardening law: don't put water on anything between the hours of 11am and 4 pm.
