Need to repost this with clearer subject---Need some help. My tomatoes leaves are curling, turning black. Also some green tomatoes are showing some black near the stem. We have not had much rain here but have watered--drip--at the root area. Also very hot and humid last 2 weeks. Any suggestions besides graveyard service??

Dear dou47620

Last week, My Armenian By-color Tomatoes was showing the same conditions.

I had to cut off all black leaves, and re-transplant them at three feet apart, like I had to do with my Purple Russians a month ago.

With this hot weather, there are some plants of mines is showing different types of stress and I have to depend on learned knowledge from forum members years two years ago.

If you have time, read some of the old post, it will help you a lot, Amen!!!
