I have 8 tomato plants that are in a new location, planted in the premium composted soil with a scoop of worm casting, against a fence, southern exposure. They are all 8 have holes in the leaves and are yellowing. they are (were) all good plants grown at a local farm. I’ve picked up the damaged leaves and need advice on how to bring them back to become healthy and robust plants. I am sure the lack of sun has to do with it but the tomatoes in a different bed are unaffected. Please help. Thank you

The lower than normal temperatures has lots to do with it. With all the rain, make sure they're not overwatered. Continue to mulch heavily around the base of the plant with compost. Feeder roots will find their way into the mulch and with warmer weather the plants will thrive.
