That first link is the one that led me to believe this is the
spotted wilt virus , but I don't have the charactristic
discoloration on the fruit . Now I'm even more confused .


Just wanted to comment that their pictures for tomato leaf spot
(Septoria) are very good, exactly what I'm dealing with. I don't
know whether that translates to good quality on all their pages.

It is frustrating that there are so many things that kill tomato
leaves. In retrospect, I've been very lucky that I went so many
years without having a problem.


I suspect part of my problem is the varieties I chose , all heirlooms .


As are mine. Now that I have the fungus in my garden, it will
probably be a problem for at least several years. I have to get
much better about controlling weeds that can be extra hosts.

I realized while spraying that I probably also need to space the
cages about twice as far apart as I did this year (which is slightly
farther than last year), to reduce how much gets spread between plants.
