The leaves are looking yellow-y on the bottom and have lots of black spots on them. Some of the leaves are completely dark brown and dead. I have a couple of pepper plants, and they also look a little yellow. If needed, I can probably post pics.

How are you watering them? Tomato plants should always be watered at the roots, not from the leaves down as they can get tomato blight/ leaf rot.

Have you got tomatoes growing yet? Are you picking off the dead leaves? Have you pinched your plant back at all yet?

They are usually watered from the roots, but there's been a lot of rain here lately. There are some tomatoes on them. I haven't pulled off dead leaves or pinched them off because they're not very big yet.

I just found a description of a tomato blight that sounded kind of like what you described.
You have to scroll down the page to find the part about tomatoes.
