it is blight, due to the exsessive rain we have had. Some tomatoes are even falling off of the vine before the can get big too, alot of people are dealing with this problem.

I had the same problem almost overnight. Happened right after the last big rain. Didn't affect them all on the same plant, weird.

I have a friend who had the same problem, so he called the "Cooperative Extension" in his area, and they said it was a fungus or virus that hit throughout the area (N.Y. State). He had to pull up the plants and then bury them.

I don't know, it doesn't seem to be a great year for tomatoes.
