I put my plants into the garden bed last week. These photos were taken about two days after I had planted everything. Tomatoes and peppers are on the left; the plants on the right are onions. I also planted corn and spinach seeds on the right.
Since the photo has been taken I have added basil and more peppers. Sadly, my tomato plants are now dying. I've barely had them! It started with one. I thought maybe the leaves had gotten a little sunburnt. Next thing I know two plants have it. So I went online searching. It appears that my tomatoes have early blight.
I went and got some copper/sulfur dust, it didn't seem to help. I'm going to have to pull the first one that got infected, which already has a little tomato on it. The second one that became infected isn't too bad, yet. The disease still continues to move up the plant, regardless of the dust. A third plant has begun to show some signs.
Below is the first infected, before it started to die, now it only has the top three leaf branches and the fruit. It is a red pear tomato. I think I might replace it with some tomatillo plants.
