If it is blight, you will want to trim off all of your affected leaves, bag them and throw them in the trash, or burn them. Then spray the rest of the plant with fungicide.

Build your box off the ground,,no weeds and very few bugs. Like others said, cut off the blighted limbs and dispose off..apply copper sulfate once a week to remaining leaves.

Hellfire! Im jealous!!!
Haven't even planted yet up here in Utah.
Shoot, it snowed for 4 hours today. I almost planted this weekend, but the locals say wait until mid-May around here.

Good luck Shelly!

Googled blight. Looks like that's what it is. So I guess I'm screwed

Cutthe lower affected leaves off and go by some Daconil to spray on them.

Yeah I don't know. First time having this problem. Been making great tomatoes for years

Heavy rains followed by high humidity will do that, cause those funguses. They hit mine last year but I was to busy to fool with treating them. Seriously, Daconil will stop it in its tracks, I see you were already gonna take lower stems off. You don’t really have to take off all affected leaves, don’t kill you plant if most of them are affected. Daconil works pretty damn well. Spray once a week or after a rain.
