yellow leaves with brown spots, that are dying all around the bottom of tomato plants

"Hi,

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately, tomatoes are very susceptible to a number of fungal diseases, and it sounds like your region has experienced cool, moist weather --- exactly what these diseases like.

Remove leaves as you see spots develop to keep the disease from spreading faster. Avoid watering your plants during the afternoon, evening, or nighttime hours and avoid getting the foliage wet when you do water. And prune your plants, if necessary, to ensure good air flow --- all of these will also help slow the spread of the diseases.

Fungicides won't cure the disease, but can also help stop their spread. Look for a garden fungicide labeled for use on edible plants at your local garden center or nursery.
