I did, had 25 plants. All did really well until the tomatoes got big. Then they just turned black and died like yours

Some "old timers" told me it was a tomato blight and it happens every few years.

I think it was the fairly heavy/consistent rains. Thats what I was told, it pretty much killed everybodys tomatoes that I know. We had a nice amount one day and they all were pretty much dead the next.

I think most everyone had the same results with tomatoes. Someone said that any of the BONNY plants usually sold at Lowes and Walmart had disease. I don't know.. and haven't verified it.. But I did have a plant or 2 that was what I called Volunteers that did so-so.
And I need to know the secret of growing 'maters' inside.

I had some I grew from seeds and some heirlooms. They go hit by whatever it was. I had them close to some bonnie plants. I believe the ones I started got hit first well showed signs first.
