My Tomato Plants Are Suffering

I have 8 BigBoy tomato plants that are now about a foot high. They
were doing fine, but now some of the leaves are turning yellow.

Anything I can do?

Use a all purpose fungicide and next year pick a variety tat is disease
resistant like First Lady II, Champion or Delicious. Buy your plants at
a local Greenhouse not at Wal-Mart and places like that.

A guru in New England recommends "Serenade", an organic insecticide. It
only needs to be used once a year.

Ooops. Serenade is an organic _fungicide_. Also, GF found a coupon
on their web site. Google(serenade fungicide) .

I just bought some of the fungicide and have sprayed it. Hope it
works.

I have always favored BigBoys - I liked their size and taste. Never
had trouble before, but then that was in another state.
