They are just ripening but the plant appears to be dying and half the tomatoes are diseased looking . What is it and what can we do? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 6 years ago From the photo you sent, this looks like potato blight damage as blight can also affect tomatoes. The leaves rot and the fruit gets a brown rot. Some of the tomatoes might be useable.Â
