My tomatoes started out very healthy but a couple have died off. I was
left with 3 plants that I thought would be very healthy but now two of
them are succumbing to the same problem the others had.

At the base of the plant, the stem is going brown, thin and hard. It
seems to be choking the plant to death.

What is causing this? Can I bring them back to life? What should I do
next time to stop it happening?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

My guess the 120 days of life that a tomato looks forward to is up. It's
getting towards the end of the season. So time to plant something else.
