My soil is good, I spray to avoid disease, I added new soil, manure, triple super phosphate and bone meal. I till the soil before planting my different varieties of tomatoes. They seem to start out ok, then they don't produce enough leaves, flowers drop off and I have a very small crop. I live in MI and usually plant around the 20th of May......is that to early. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for you help! The last 3 years have been disappointing when it comes to my tomato’s.

We received an excessive amount of rain during the month of June and my plants got off to a slow start. Because of the excessive water my plants I believe were attacked with early blight. With sprays I believe I got that under control. Now that the fruit is coming many of then are getting black spots all over the plant. I do not believe it is blossom rot as it is all over the plant. What is this? Is it okay to eat? Is there anything I can do to prevent or stop this from happening? Also, last year I had a problem with little black bugs borrowing into my tomatoes. What are these and how do I get rid of them should I run into this problem again? Help. Thank you. I live in Minnesota.

Two of the plants are flourishing, but my Roma is doing strange things! Some of the stalks are fuzzy and their leaves seem withered up. All of my plants are in the same area, so what could be the problem? I have 3 tomato plants in a small garden, and have grown tomatoes for a number of years.
