Help! We have had a terrible spring with tons of rain and now my tomato plants still look horrible! They are not getting bushy nor or they very green??!! A lot of yellow on the bottom and are whimpy looking. I am herbicide, pesticide free and wondered if I should use fish emulsion on them? I have over 200 different heirloom tomatoes that I plan on selling but am scared of the yield there might be. Yes, they are bearing fruit but........look horrible!
~Thanks Tricia

Could be a lack of nitrogen, or maybe early blight or septoria, but probably fusarium or verticillum wilt.
Here is a link to OSU's tomato pages in Ohio Line, many of these fact sheets have pictures of the problem on them.

Most of these problems are fungus related so it is key to stay out of the garden when it is wet to avoid spreading disease.
You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands - You shall be happy and it shall be well with you. -Psalm 128.2
