Mint with spots

[Laura84]

Hi everybody,

I have found that one of my mint have little brown spots in the reverse of the leaves (you can notice them in the other side too).

I don't know if you can see it well in the photo. At first sight, I thought they were eggs from some insects but I tried to remove them with my hands and I couldn't so I don't know if it a fungi, eggs or...

To make a comparision they are like the spores of ferns.

Do you have any idea?

Thank you!!!!

Looks like alternaria. Fungus. Remove the damaged leaves, bag them and trash them. Baking soda spray (4tsp to 1 gallon water- some add oil and molasses), neem oil, cornmeal spray(1 cup cornmeal soaked in 1 gallon of hot water for 1 hour or until milky, strained).

Fungal infections are hard to treat once they get going. Weekly treatments are good prophylactic practice.

Thank you Lindsaylew82. I'm going to try and I hope to be able to save my plants.
Last days, I've seen more spots and ill leaves in my mints and lemon balm
