Well, the plague" I showed about a couple of weeks ago has pretty much devastated the approx. 80 closely planted tomato plants regards of the kind, though the tomatoes themselves have been the healthiest ever. I also I scratched the lens on my cheap camera so the pics below are not very good. . Otherwise it has been a pretty active summer in the neighborhood block, with and neighbors out at night and playing in the street and bikes to fix- without masks or sickness, thanks be to God.

Many plants are still showing good new green growth, and I pruned plenty of infected leaves, I took to spraying them with copper fungicide and pray they will recover.

But the garden so far has gone from this (7-10):

And this (8-1):

To this (8-21):

Because of this (Early Blight disease? Fusarium wilt?):

Mine look like that and have sun scald too.

Daniel, in spite of the late disease affecting your tomatoes it looks like you still have some pretty good tomato production!

I also have a fairly small gardening space so I don't have a lot of room to rotate plantings to reduce disease; Choose disease resistant varieties if you aren't now.

Something you could consider for next year.

After you till, you could put a soaker hose along your planting space, cover with a plastic sheet, plant your seedlings through hole in the plastic. You water underneath the plastic with the soaker hose. It Reduces dirt splashing up on the leaves. Dirt contains the mold and fungus that transmits disease. (Might also reduce evaporation and need to water.) I tried using plastic this year and it helped!

Increase spacing to allow air flow around the plants. (Fewer plants.) Once tomato plants are 3 feet high, start trimming off lower branches to reduce soil to disease transmission!

looks like some kind of blight....I've cut off the bad leaves on my tomatoes..I throw them in the burn pile...I heard on you tube a guy said when you cut off one plant you sure wipe your shears off with alcohol so you're not passing the blight along....

blight and powdery mildew are the bane of my existence...
