All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

It looks like it's leaf scorch, possible you got some water on the leaf and then when the sun gets on it it scorches it ;)

It looks as though the sun has burnt the leaf edge, but (and say this quietly), it looks a leeeetle bit like blight ! ! ! :ohmy:    Cheers,    Tony.
I may be growing OLD, but I refuse to grow UP !

I think blight indoor is highly unlikely, and the patches are I think not quite the right colour anyway.

Leaf problems like that just inside a window are almost invariably sun scorch, particularly if any drops of water have landed on the leaves during watering.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Water drops can act like small magnifying glasses.

Unlikely blight considering they are indoors.

I agree with my friends above look like sun scorche from getting moisture on the leaves.

As you have it right up close to the window could pos be condesation on the windows as well as splashing the leaves.
