What's this?

Tomato plants question. 2018 was a complete disaster regarding my tomato


"crop". I live in NC and typically plant 4 or 5 (Brandywine and Amy's Sugar Gem) plants in a spot that gets okay but not great sun. In 2017 my plants developed some kind of wilt (leaves yellowed from bottom of plant up) that would kick in right about when the tomatoes reached full size and the plants died back about half way by the time the tomatoes were ripe. In 2018 same thing except the two plants that survived died back 75% and fruit was about half size. Does anyone know of a variety of that has a decent chance of not succumbing to this wilt problem? Should I just skip a year and let the soil recover (I amend the soil every year)?

  Good chance you have nematodes if in NC. Affects roots which feed the plant -- DonHo-kieHi 03/08/2019 2:37PM

  Probably early blight -- JoesterVT 03/08/2019 09:52AM
  Is there any way to "treat" the soil to rid if of blight? -- EDGEMAN 03/08/2019 12:10PM
  The soil needs to rest -- Newt 03/08/2019 2:59PM
  I haven't heard of any method but time... just can't plant -- HokieSignGuy 03/08/2019 12:44PM
