Keep up the copper spraying every 10 days and keep a close eye out for the return of any of the diseases you have been dealing with. If you get Early Blight then try removing all affected leaves and spraying with Daconil for prevention.
Due to the dry weather and extremely high temps my problem this year on my tomatoes has been spider mites. I thought after the nearly inch of rain we got last week that it would help with them but no such luck. I had to get out the Permethrin, Dawn and DE and spray all my tomatoes. Up til this week I hadn't had any mites on my newer plants but they are leaving the dying dried up old ones they have ruined and are now getting into my new plants so all my tomato plants got a good thorough spraying yesterday. I had to do this a month or so ago and it worked really good and the plants started back setting fruit again and making tomatoes. This time after a week or so I will do it again just to make sure.
