Its a new bed. I sprayed a fungicide we will see what happens.

Thanks again.


Actully, you need to start new plants that have NOT been exposed to
the disease. Then hit them with your fungicide on a schedule and
again when it rains for more than a brief spell. Several days of
extremely humid weather can spread the disease much more rapidly.

I'm pretty sure it's fungal damage- probably early blight. Good air
circulation and fungicides are the way to go. Daconil is good, neem oil
will work, as will sulfur. Copper's not bad, but it's better for
prevention (or if you catch it early).

I'm not sure about not wetting the soil just below the plant (that's how
I water!), but I do know that moisture on the leaves helps the fungus
thrrive.

Good luck!

Here is a link to pictures of my tomato's. I was wondering if the brown
leafs are normal or if I am doing something wrong. Maybe they are the
determinate and starting to die?

I've had an impossible time finding Daconil. The local Agway, who has never
steered me wrong before, claims it has been discontinued and replaced with a
product called Funginil. Anyone know anything about this?

I bought some at Wal-Mart just a few days ago. It was the
concentrate liquid type that you add your own water. Pretty potent
stuff, as the instructions say to use 1 tablespoon per gallon water.
