You don't give us much to go on.

Humid or rainy conditions
Poor watering practice, water splashed up the leaves carrying spores and
making damp
Not enough air circulation and sun
Planting in the same bed, ie not rotating
Using susceptible cultivars

The first you cannot do much about, if you have 2 months of overcast and
warm summer drizzle you can forget your tomatoes. *The rest you may be able
to improve.

None of the above apply. I looked at the web site sent to me a few
more but I still can't figure it out. They talked about bacteria in
the soil but wouldn't that destroy everything else? Very Frustrating.
What if I cut off the leaves/stem that have wilted. I guess it
couldn't hurt
