Only growing plum tomatoes in my two greenhouses. These seem O.K.  Quite a few outdoor tomatoes have gone yellow and died. This is not blight - that comes later.

I think they either got too dry in the hot spell earlier or too wet later; any ideas?

All very different. The foliage is as good as I have ever seen, but SO brittle this year - like the Potatoes which the rain broke off.

Rosada
Nectar
Soleane
Costoluto

And some!

Other varieties are still in their infancy!
I am very impressed with the professional way you go about things   I wish I could have learned to be like that with my gardening.   How big is your greenhouse looks like its the size of my home   ;D  Well done you are a Star

When i saw the title of this thread reminded me of what i used to do when i only had the one greenhouse and thought it may be of help to others.
I would find out and take note of what Tomato,s grew short leaves, what crop i got and the flavor of the tomato,s. Not so i could cram more in but to improve on the ventilation around the plant.
Alas i must confess i crammed more in.
When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful
