Hey,
This is my first time ever growing anything so I decided to grow roma tomatoes. They were doing well until a few days ago, when I noticed that brown spots were appearing on the leaves and they were drying up, even though they are watered well (not over watered though). They leaves have always been a little bit curled but I never thought that was a problem. Anyway, I have some pictures here maybe you guys could help me. Sorry about the focus in some of the pictures, my camera is difficult.
Thanks

Sometimes it's hard to tell from pictures, even after you kindly made the pictures bigger, and there's lots of things that cause leaf curl. The fact that it is getting worse suggests it is some kind of disease, a blight or wilt. The fact that your tomatoes are all suddenly ripening is very bad sign. It's a survival thing. If the plant is dying, it hurries up to ripen it's fruit, so the line keeps surviving.
Here's a link to information about tomato diseases with pictures of what they look like. You might be able to match what your plants look like with the pictures:

Whereabouts are you ? In the Eastern states we have been anxiously watching this late blight problem , brown spots would appear to be one sign of it but its probably not enough to say thats what it is.
On mine one or two of the bottem low leaves are spotted but thats the extent of anything out the ordinary.
They are very late is all , just flowering now.

Sorry to see your tomato plants going down like this...
I don't know exactly the kind of disease it is, but I'm loosing one plant to the same appearing disease. I'm finding the following similarities with yours also - my dying plant is on the deck, back side of the house, about 10' off the ground.
And what I have noticed, that side of the house, early morning - all the plants are always covered in the morning dew. While house plants love it, my favorite tomato (one of three, but the only one on the deck) is dying. Fruits are still ripening, but there will be no more blooms
I tried to revive it with everything I had - copper, added mild organic fertilizer, milk and fish in alternated weeks, but no luck. Others in the ground still strong and still blooming.
Would like to hear from the experts to what disease is this?
Regards,
D
