Can anyone tell me what is going on with my tomato plants? Everyone of them is starting to look like this.
I am in Southwest Ohio.

I had the same thing.
you have spider mites.

spray them with something that will kill mites.

I used a combo miteicide/fungicide.

Easybake ~ does that mean the spray you purchased remedied your problem?

they seem to be doing much better now. I dont see any new damage over the last 2 weeks.
except for the one plant that got damaged in last nights storm the main stem got bent over pretty badly.
i may have to replace that one.

Glad to hear they are doing better.

You shouldn't have to replace that mater plant. I've had one get bent to the point of breaking. I propped it up and it is now loaded with green tomatoes which are the same size as the rest.

I've also have stems get broken. You can plant the broken top and it will take root. It will be a setback but the plant doesn't die.

Glad your storm damage wasn't any worse.
