disease is attacking my tomatoes.

[dbjay417]

Its starts off with grayish splotches on the plants leaves, which eventually consumes the whole leaf. The leaf then turns yellow and dies. My best efforts to contain this sickness, has been regular and vigorous trimming and careful disposal of any infected leaves and entire branches in some cases.

One plant stayed only with its newest growth. Since then, its underdeveloped, but undiseased fruit has been harvested, and the plant culled.

At first i thought mold, and tried to use a light bleach solution to at least stifle its growth, but it just kept spreading. Then i started trimming and realized that I was not doing any good with that either. it was spreading from one plant to another, from leaf to leaf.

I've also noticed my potatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins yellowing and dying leaf by leaf, but they dont get the gray splotches. I dunno if its the same disease or a different one, hell for all i know its normal. But my tomatoes are definitely being killed.

You might check this site. I'm no expert but I suspect powdery mildew. It's a hard one. Good luck.
