Early June and garden is going down fast.

[ChrisK]

Was a cool start to the summer and now extremely wet and warm. Various problems attached, not sure what all of them are but it's spreading fast. I'm at the point of the bleach spray...if it ever stops raining in this pestilence incubator known as North Carolina, that is.

Chris- sorry to hear this. I hope the micro dwarfes will be ok.

Out here Ca especially in the Bay Area we are pretty much spoiled with good weather 9-10 months a year with mostly no rain and no extreme humidity.

I don't know but we have early blight in the community garden this year. I think I might have some starting in mine at home as well.

I feel your pain and I know a lot of others do.
This incessant rain is setting the stage for a lot of disease pressure and disastrous seasons.

yes here in the north east we are experiencing crazy weather. Although my mato plants look like they are growing on schedule, I too fear too much wet weather may cause problems.. I guess a lot more wet days are in the forecast. glta

Some similar issues well discussed with lots of information recently in these two threads:

Good luck.

Most of those pics don't look like the disease is too bad unless the whole plant looks like that. It would have been nice to see pics of more of the affected plants to get a better idea of how bad the diseases are. The last photo looks like it could be Gray Mold a particularly nasty problem in wet weather. See if you have more areas with leaves that look like that. It tends to show up on the inner foliage first and will rapidly spread if the weather is wet.

Don't think of the bleach spray as a last resort or you could get to that stage by delaying using it for too long. Some diseases spread very fast and letting them do that only makes the cure so much more difficult or impossible.
I sprayed everything in my garden yesterday with the bleach spray even though it was still drizzling rain after five days of rainy weather the diseases were starting up pretty bad and I didn't want to wait. I will be going out in a few minutes to check my plants more closely since the rain finally let up yesterday afternoon. I may have to spray again this morning and I'll want to do it before the sun comes up. I will then spray a fungicide as a preventative late this evening.

Not sure what the first one is, but 2 & 3 look like fusarium to me, and I agree with grey mold for 4. Get a fungicide on em, bleach or copper spray will work better than Daconil on Hesse, at least the copper spray did or me in my garden this year. I also had # 1 hat you show. Copper spray and cutting the affected leaves off and bagging them helped. I still got a decent harvest.

2 and 3 look like relatively minor cases of early blight.
4 might be a little bit of botrytus/mold.
Not sure about #1.

I don't think the sky is falling yet.

[ChrisK]

I removed a lot of leaves that showed the symptoms. I assumed it was early blight based on pictures and some kind of mold on #4. Below is a post bleach spray on Dwf. Mr Snow which appeared to be doing quite well until tropical storm Andrea....

I hate to say this but that plant looks like it may have the early symptoms of fusarium wilt. If that is what it is then no spray or treatment will help it. If the yellowing continues and gets worse followed by a whole stem wilting then you can be fairly certain it is fusarium. If the yellowing is caused by a mineral or nitrogen deficit then give it a good dose of Miracle Grow or Texas Tomato Food and see if it improves in a few days.

It is definitely not mineral or nutrient deficiency. We'll see how it goes. I plant a lot expecting the diseases and critters here to steal a large portion.

Thinking the same.

[ChrisK]

The bleach spray seems to help with foliar diseases. Thinking I have some Fusarium or bacterial wilt taking hold now. I may have to try my hand at grafting or going back to hybrids with better disease tolerance and/or resistance.

Whatever has now taken hold came on fast. And Peron Sprayless? Mmmm, not so much.
