Tomatto leave

I have this growing on my tomatto Leaves.
May I know if this is some insects/ fugus or it happens when the plant is in cold weather for too long. What should I do to keep them healthy?

Thank you so much

    The holes may be caused by a bit of slug/snail damage but nothing to be worried about - they don't really like tomato leaves. 
    The marks on the leaves may be caused by water splashes.
    So long as the plant is growing well I don't think you need be concerned.
    Now that it's warming up at last they should start to perk up.

    Hi, Pete. Thank you so much. I have not seen a slug around the pot, however, it may happen when I was not checking them. I have moved those plants from small pot to bigger pot, and occassionally the soil get onto those leaves and sometimes I water plant by contact leaves as well. I donot know it will cost damages.

    Try not to splash the leaves when you water them, but it's no big deal really.
    I do it all the time..
    So long as your plants look generally healthy they'll be ok

    It could also be hail damage if they are outside.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Yes, there was 2 hails in May. Now I understand why people grow them in greenhouse... so much protection needed for their leaves. Mine started to show small pods, what about yours?
