I have been procrastinating about researching the problem with my plants, I guess I didn't want to know. The plant pictured is called Beaverlodge plum, it is an indeterminate. It just doesn't seem to be doing well, lots of small green tomatoes, but they are not seeming to grow or ripen, seem stunted. I have used Plant tone & Alaska Fish juice (that's what I call it) to fertilize. We have had great unusually dry & warm weather for the last 6 weeks here in the Seattle area. I think I may have stressed the plant out though, by not watering enough, they wilted a few times during our unusually hot weather. I planted these in a large brick planter that is attached to our house, so it is sheltered from the elements under our eves but faces south for all day sun. My research says that if this is TMV, I should pull them out immediately so it won't contaminate my other plants (have eggplant & other tomatoes in the planter).
My last question, if this is something like TMV, is it okay to replant some totally different crop in the soil, I was thinking of maybe doing a fall crop of carrots. Or do I need to remove the soil?
I'm not an expert on this by any means, but I think the yellowing with mosiac is more irregular. The yellowing on your plants is clearly only between the veins which suggests a nutrient deficiency. Research Pottasium, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, and Iron deficencies and compare the symptoms to your plant.
