Is it Early Blight?

I am assuming early blight is destroying my tomato plants. All the lower and inner leaves have turned brown. The outer growth is pretty green, and aside from some anthracnose spots the fruit is mostly OK.


Does that sound like early blight? It started about three weeks ago when we were getting constant daily rains.


I know there isn’t much I can do now, so a couple questions:


1. Going forward, what are some good fungicide sprays that help prevent it? Organic or synthetic is fine by me, as long as it WORKS.


2. Am I better off trying to let the fruits ripen on the vine as long as possible, or yank them and let all the fruit ripen in the garage? I hit “peak production” about a week ago, and it seems to have sloughed off a bit already.
