tomates plants flourishing now in the sunny weather but some of the lower branches have yellow and brown spots. Please advise what shall I do to getting it further up and destroy the plant. This year it took lots of effort to reach this stage due to low temperature until June.

    Hi.  I think they look normal.  Lower leaves always die off first.  Your tomatoes look good as do the leaves.  A bit of yellow is not so bad.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    I agree with @tui34 ... they're just showing the signs of age ... nothing to worry about.  I've just taken the lower leaves off mine to increase air flow in this hot humid weather.  

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    @tui34, thank you, it is a big relief to know. It was lots of bother due to the low temperature. I use to cover the plants with plastic bottles with bottom cut off and on top bubble wrap to protect plants with temperature in range of 9°-13 ° C. Chillies, pepper and aubergines all suffered even with  the cover and later slugs and snails. They recovered to certain degrees but let us see what happens.

    @Dovefromabove, Thank you. I have taken the lower leaves off but only few, now I will do little more to improve air circulation. Happy plants and Happy us... 😊

    Like us, nobody (or plant) is perfect.
