VERY healthy looking tomato plants!

Thanks be to God, and the abnormal frequent July rains helped a lot. But the septoria (my diagnosis) is still in the soil and many plants are showing infection. The worst year was 2020, without pruning, and in 2022 (which turned out to be a summer of drought) I gave the garden a sabbatical, though volunteer plant provided enough for us, and I tried to bake the main section by using a roll of trashed tar paper.

Images from 2020 showing what it can do:
