Tomatoes are dying! What is it and can they be saved? - Page 3

Sorry to hear I am not alone in my struggles with my tomatoes due to the rain...
It has been difficult the past few weeks to even find a time to spray between the rain/wet leaves...

On Sunday, last week, I sprayed three times, once early when the leaves were dry....I did not even finish when the storm came in. I waited until about 2 when the leaves were again dry--sprayed, rained again. I tried once more before I went to bed but it rained overnight !!

I do have a lot of fruit and hopeful I can stave off some of the progression to be able to harvest a fair amount.

I was assuming it was Septoria, but now not sure based on this thread. I was spraying with soapshield and BT, as a preventative.

It is sunny and hot and should be for the next week so I am hopeful, but I have lost a few plants.
