Re: septoria

I have a couple of heirlooms, a Better Boy and some kind of grape or 
cherry tomato...only five, so I'm not a 'grower.'

I did apply a OMRI fungicide on the foliage that remains in the hopes 
of salvaging something.

Although I'm totally bummed about this, I have to say this is one of 
those times where the disease looks EXACTLY like the photos.
