Opinions if this is a disease on Sungold

This started on Saturday and sprayed all my plants with Neem on Sunday evening.
I am growing in containers.

First year gardener, so any help would be great!

Looks like Early Blight to me. Brown spots with yellow halos. Did it start with the bottom leaves and work its way up?

Remove all of the infected leaves and any leaves in contact with the ground. Time to invest in a sprayer and some copper fungicide. Be sure to spray both the tops and bottoms of the leaves. Spray in the early evening when the sun is going down.

If you live in Fair Oaks, California, you shouldn't have much problem keeping Early Blight under control. Your weather is hot and dry. Early blight is harder to control where it is rainy and humid.

Yes, started at the bottom and has worked its way up. Yes, I'm in California! I guess I'm heading to the store when I get off work!!
