HI Alison, A good aid for tomatoes is to spray the plant with a weak solution of Seasol (or similar seaweed product) which feeds the plant through the leaves, and also dissuades tomato russet mite. Also strengthen the plants by adding a good quality compost and organic fertilisers like fish emulsion, worm-farm liquid, etc. All these give the plant more resilience to diseases and pests. Don't give up!
