Hopefully you can salvage something.
Thanks but I'm not worrying about salvaging tomatoes because my fruit set this year is very heavy and I should have all the tomatoes I can eat and give away to friends. I will lose some to sunscald after all the diseased leaves shrivel up from the diluted bleach spray or are removed by me exposing too many fruits to direct sunlight most of the day. In spite of that the loses should be very small like the loses I took from 6 days of rain splitting some of my ripening fruit. It is just part of growing tomatoes around here.
