Another problem with Tomatoes

I have, like others been growing tomatoes for more than 50 years, but this year has been a disaster. See Photo, has anyone got any ideas, they are almost dead.

    I’m not much help I’m afraid but one of my tomatoes plants is going the same way. It’s so sad when they are so close to being ready to harvest. I tried to find an answer online and found late blight as the problem. The only solution was chemicals you can’t buy in the uk or cutting back any affected areas.

    It is blight unfortunately. All you can do is pick the fruit and try to ripen it indoors.

    I pulled all my 20 tomato plants up yesterday. They were absolutely laden with fruit and the Late Blight struck overnight. 😢

    Blight -yes. Many people have had the same problem this year.
