Thank you for reaching out to ask2.extrnsion.
This looks like bacterial leaf spot. Remove and destroy any infected plant material, including leaves and stems. Wash your hands after handling diseased plants. Practice crop rotation to avoid planting the same species in the same location for at least 3 years. Consider applying copper-based fungicides or other natural or synthetic bactericides on a 7 to 10 day schedule; use the shorter interval when rain, high humidity and warm temperatures occur.
This can also spread to the fruit. I’m thinking that all of the rain and wind we’ve had is a contributor.
I hope this helps!
Sounds good, thank you!
