Blight in the house?

I queried the local extension office again about my tomato problem, and here was their response:

I’m sorry I don’t know what other tomato questions you may have had or what information you may have received, but I am including a link to a general information sheet about tomatoes.  It appears that you may have a fungal disease on your tomato plant.  The best defense against tomato fungus is choosing a disease resistant variety however most heirloom tomatoes are susceptible.  Page 4 of this handout at the above link lists fungicides that can control fungi on tomatoes.

Good luck and I hope this is helpful!

Is this early blight, perhaps?  I dunno but it doesn’t sound good.

Harvest time … and what’s with this tomato plant?

Good harvest day — first carrot!  And our first green beans, and some green onions to boot.

On another note, somethin’ ain’t right with the Black Cherry tomato plant.  It’s survived aphids and squirrel attacks, but it’s sparse and spindly, and the older, lower growth is all yellowed and dying.  The newer top growth is green and healthy looking, but WTF?

See the shots here … including the current state of the tomatoes and the first pic of the green bell pepper plant.

(BTW, current tomato hornworm count: 23)

Tomatoes get their turn

Well, it seems like there have been problems throughout the garden but the tomatoes have skated by mostly unscathed … until now.
