It sounds like you have blight. Something I also have had trouble with
for 3-4yrs now. It gets in the soil, so transplanting them won't do any
good. Cut off the yellowed leaves and throw them away. Put some mulch
around the plants, so that dirt can't splash up on the leaves when it
rains. (this is supposedly why they go from the bottom up) And don;t be
surprised once cool weather hits, if all of a sudden one morning your
plants look like they've been hit by frost, and you know they havent
because other kinds of plants are ok. At least this has been my
experience. This yr I'm trying out growing my tomatoes in black plastic.
Hoping this helps some.
