Tomato spots

[Alilaj]

My tomato leaves just started having spots that are tan and not dark brown. I wonder if it is some sort of fungus because I do also have bumps on the stems from poor water drainage I think and wilt too.

I am a new gardener and prefer organic solutions if possible.

Any advice would be great!!!!! Thank you so much!

Welcome to the forum @Alilaj . I think your tomato plant is about to make loads of new roots, and so maybe the existing roots are in trouble - as you say, perhaps the drainage is not too good.
Roots come from the places where all those tiny hairs are on the stem, and the deeper you plant the tomato the more roots it will make - thus a stronger root system and stronger plant. It rather looks like a presence of red spider mite on the second photo, and there are signs of rot with the brown leaves and soggy bits on the stems.

If new gardeners would learn from all these pointers, and remember that the plants themselves will tell you where the problems lie, they have the ability to become experts in no time at all.
Good luck with your gardening efforts

Thank you so much for responding!!! What do you recommend for the spider mites and the rot/better drainage?

I have sent the above link for you to have a look at, based there in the USA it will be of interest to you (I hope) I also like to use the organic, natural approach whenever I can..... (a bit like Tarzan with an army of animals as friends)

Add some fine grit to your compost/soil for planting, and always water carefully onto the roots rather than the foliage.
