tomato Blight seems to be very common this year and if it is Blight you will rapidly find it spreading to the leaves and the fruit, which will turn black and start to rot. If this is the case I'm afraid there is no cure and you will have to pull up the plants and destroy them, preferably by turning. Don't put them on your compost heap. The Blight spores could remain in the compost and be transferred to other parts of your garden when you eventually dig it out.
