Tomato plant help

Here you go OP

Thanks! I tried to use a couple of free pic hosting sites but the image didn’t show. I will try this one next time.

ETA: I see it’s the same one. The preview didn’t show the picture when I tried to insert the image

That’s what I did, but it didn’t show when I hit preview. Maybe I should have submitted anyway. Thanks again.

That looks like blight or grey mold, but it's hard to tell. You can try spraying with a peroxide/water mixture. If you check the garden thread, Pillage posted a link to the mixing ratio on the first page. Also make sure you aren't watering too much. If it's blight, the plant is probably toast.

Regardless, depending on where you are, this is the time of year that tomato plants really start to struggle.

I planted tomatoes this year for the first time in 5-gallon buckets.

did you put enough drainage holes in the bucket?

it might be root rot or moldy soil if you didnt

Check around with neighbors who grow tomatoes. Nextdoor page or facebook. The blight will usually hit everyone in the area. At least that's how it worked at my old house. Everyone's tomatoes would just suddenly start drying out and going to shite by mid-summer. If all the neighbors' tomatoes are doing just fine and it's only yours getting killed, then you might have something fixable.
