I have a serious problem with what I believe is Tomato Blight. I have an lot of blooms with small tomatos as wells some larger green tomatoes that are the size of a small baseball. The blooms are setting but the leaves are starting to turn yellow and are mottled and some at the top are a light green.
I hope this sounds familiar to some out here who can recommend a home remedy that will tend to correct this problem.
I patiently(maybe impatiently) await tour responses.

I grow tomatoes yearly and have had a problem every year with that. Try to clip off the impacted leaves, also check the soil with your finger and make sure you are not overwatering. The soil whould be slightly dry, several inches down befopre watering again. When you do water, water at the base of the plant and not all over the leaves...unless you a foiliar feed such as Garrett juice or something similar. I would also put a couple of handfuls or corn meal under each plant and work it into the soil.
