Hi-
Thanks for bringing this up. I think that blight diagnosis is right on. It's good to know it's not just me.
I've had 3 tomato plants up and die for the first time ever.
I have a friend who lost most of her tomatoes and eggplants.
My eggplants are quite pretty. Grasshoppers are also fierce. I've lost lots of beans for the first time ever. It's been the worst gardening year I can remember.

 Tomatoes: how are yours doing? Neighbor reports blight

Sue Sullivan <sue...@aol.com> Jul 27 06:24PM -0700  

My novice and enthusiastic gardening neighboring is losing most of his
tomato plants to a leaf and fruit disease of some sort. He took a
sample to Fort Collins Nursery and a worker there gave a probably
diagnosis of blight and said it is widespread this year because of the
relatively warm winter and spring.
 
I've lost a couple plants here and there to what I thought was
transplant stress/failure to thrive and chalked it up to the 100-
degree June we had. I do have some leaves starting to die off on a few
of my tomato plants right now, but I figured that was just late-summer
stress. Until I talked to my neighbor. Now I'm feeling all paranoid.
How are everyone else's tomatoes looking?

I have maybe 2 of 50 romas with leaf wilt but still fruiting. Today I noticed 2 of 70 cherry and reisentraubes looking purple on the leaf tips.

My tomato plants are also doing poorly. I only have a few this year, and
they are mostly fruiting. My heirloom is not setting fruit.

Most are doing ok. Had a few showing wilting leaves, a Brandywine was one.
