Find out What's Wrong with Your Tomatoes
We wait all summer for juicy, fresh-off-the-vine tomatoes — nothing compares. So when our tomato plants go south, we want to know why.

Even if you do everything right, lots of things can go wrong with tomatoes. Check out our list of common diseases and problems to find out what happened — and how to fix it.
Blight Blight
Spots on leaves and stems are the first signs of this disease. To help prevent it, don't plant tomatoes and potatoes together.
Fusarium Fusarium
This common soil-dwelling fungus causes the bottom leaves to wilt, turn yellow, and fall off. If fusarium attacks your plant, destroy it. Don't compost the plant, because the disease may spread to your compost.
Powdery mildew Powdery mildew
White or gray spots form a powder that eventually covers the leaves and fruits. Keep lots of space between your plants to help keep them safe from this fungus.
