Answer 1

First, how many tomatoes have grown? If your plant is just starting out with small growth...try these few steps to help revive your plant life.

1st- Check soil. If it's soaking wet and your leaves are turning yellow...you are watering too much. Just keep the soil moist, not soaked.

2nd- Buy a plant food. You will find many products out there guaranteeing large growth, and even some named just for tomatoes. I personally bought 'Terracycle' Plant Food. It's in a yellow/green spray bottle, and can be used for indoor and outdoor plants/gardens which is nice for all your plant needs.

3rd- Your location. If you have them in a potted planter. It might just be you are not getting the proper sunlight, or too much where your soil dries too quickly thus shriveling the leaves.

If you in a ground location, try aerating the top soil without moving your plant. This will encourage more oxygen to the plant.

And finally, make sure all dead leaves, etc. are removed, as they will suck the life out of the plant.

Hope this helps! :)

Need more information. How are they dying off? If you have holes or your leaves appear to be disappearing you could have an insect problem such as flea beetles. If your plants are yellowing on the bottom and then falling off you could have a nitrogen deficiency due to lack of nutrients and/or sunlight.
I would recommend starting on an every other day watering cycle and fertilizing with Espoma Tomato tone. I use this once a week near the base of my plants. It looks a little like dirt just sprinkle it on the ground and rake in litely. Make sure not to get it too close to the stems. Water either first thing in the morning or after the sun has started to set. They could be dying because they are watered in the heat of the day and are burning off. Water at the base only.

As the other poster said, this really isn't enough information to go on. I don't know where you live, but I live in a very hot climate. Even if I water early in the a.m., my tomatoes start drooping by afternoon! I found these cone-shaped doodads that you attach to an empty (clean) plastic soda bottle with its top and bottom cut off. Then you stick one of these non-beautiful contraptions into the ground right by the plant's roots. It delivers a small amount of water constantly to the plant. Also, drip irrigation systems are great! If it's a problem with a disease or pest, that's something else. But a well-watered and fed plant will be better able to withstand bugs and diseases.

Answer 4

They probably just need some water and miracle grow. You have to remember that we are reaching the hottest time of the year and the plants are getting larger. Therefore the ground will be getting dryer and the plant since it is bigger will need more water and nutrients. So you'll need to provide the extra water that it needs.

If the bottom leaves are turning yellow and the top leaves are green then you are probably watering too much.

Answer 5

It could be loads of things, from under watering to potato blight!( yes tomatoes can get it ) I can't see your tomato plants from here so, pop down to the garden centre or bookshop and buy yourself "The herb and vegetable expert" By Dr.D.G. Hessayon. It is only a small book but like all his books, they are worth their weight in gold(ok tomato is a fruit but it is in there ! ) look at the symptoms. If you can't save them this year you will have a handy reference for next time.
Good luck

Answer 6

There is one way I know which is proven to work
Pour a mixture of half water and half Urine onto the plant sounds like an old wives tale but I have done this and my crop was the best ever that year.
After all the urine goes through a good process before being expelled.

Answer 8

Lots of water - rain water is better but obviously in this weather it's not always possible. I water mine at least twice a day (generally first thing in the morning and around 7pm, when it's not going to just evaporate). I also give them tomato plant food once a week.

Are your plants in a pot or in growbags? Outside or in greenhouse?
I previously have used growbags, but this year have them outside in pots and I've had loads of fruits from them

Answer 9

Scratch in a bit of Espoma tomato tone or bulb tone. Water consistently for the next week.

Answer 10

It's either lack of water, or over watering, or if the leaves are turning a yellow mottled colour they are being fed to much or they have got fungal rust. Spray with anti fungal.
