You gotta spray those tomatoes when conditions are favorable for disease...never wet the leaves..never work plants when wet...keep good air circulation (don't plant too close together). Martha, hire me to oversee your gardens.

Sounds like Tomato Hornworm to me, especially the plants going leafless within a day. Those insects have voracious appetites. I'm with Jim if Martha wants to hire us to oversee her garden. gerifit.com

I lost 36 plants to the blight here in central NY, it hit so quickly that there was nothing could be done, Martha probably fired her gardener.

Just like everyone else, I lost my whole tomato crop, about 60 plants. Everything looked great with the tomatoes, they were bushy, alot of flowers and fruit was started on most. Then I went on vacation for 8 days came back and all plants are almost dead. What a disappointment. I started all plants from seed so disease not from a store. I was so excited that they looked so good. :-(

Yep...we are in Eastern Ohio. Everything was fine until this past weekend..and suddenly the leaves shriveled.I plan to harvest as many tomatoes as I can. Our Amish worker said his plants shriveled in July but his tomatoes continued to grow. So...you go figure. We have never had this fungus until this year.So if this fungus lives in the soil and we have not experienced the problem before...does climate change enter the picture? Our summer has been cool, rainy and overcast.
