Hey guys this is something new other then my other thread with the southern blight which "seems" to be cleared up as we got what plants that were infected pulled up.
Whats left seems to be doing great however this is something simple I hope, happens every year and I'd just like to know what it is and what to do in order to prevent this.
Bottom of the vines start to turn yellow and die, its already started so what it it and how to treat? I can get some pics if needed.

Is it all the lower leaves, or just a few here and there?
It is normal for the lower leaves to yellow and die, at least that is my experience over the years!
Use a pruner to remove them. and sterilize them after every use!
Burn the leaves, or dispose of them! Do not add them to the composter!

Yes, just the lower leaves but I have some late tomatoes just set out a week ago that are also doing it which was what concerned me.

Took a look at the pics in the link and compared them to the plants, looks very much the same as both pics, early blight and Septoria so guess I'll look for a fungicide next time I'm in town.
Thanks Ron
