Fungus issues on tomato plants

Liberty Hill, TX(Zone 8a)

I'm having a terrible time with fungus on my tomato plants. I'm wondering if anybody else is having problems also?

It may be verticillum wilt. Here's a link so you can see if the diagnosis is correct:

Thank you Crow I've looked at that site so many times I have it memorized. LOL I think its a number of diseases but Alternia Canker seems to be the one causing the stem lesions. I was just wondering if anybody else was having similar issues. Its only in my main garden. The plants in my kitchen garden are fine, just taking forever to ripen

All my tomato plants are already well cooked from the sun and heat. They're so fried it'd be hard to tell if they'd had fungal or other disease problems. I should have known you'd already checked out that site. Like you, I find it a really great place to help diagnose problems.

Crow-We haven't even hit 100 yet and it rained almost all of last week (one of the reasons for the fungus problems) The plants that are still a live are setting fruit like crazy.
I have some plants in another area that are doing great but its strange because they were planted out on April 11th and are just now starting to really put on fruit. Everything is coming in really late. At least these plants look good.
