Yellow-gold leaves on tomatoes #876190

A few weeks ago, we discovered bright yellow-gold leaves around the base of 2 of our tomato plants. All our veggies are planted in containers & we clean & replace the soil each year. We used Miracle Grow potting soil. My first thought was we were over watering. Then we sprayed with an Epsom Salt solution & I cut off the leaves too. The plants are producing & look healthy. It's been quite hot - early . They are in all day sun.
What do you think this is & what is the recommendation?
Thank you!
