You guys are awesome, thank you so much for all the help you're giving me. I have been trying to find information on Google too but haven't found anything that looks like what's going on. :(
After looking through the websites much more carefully using Google for each one of the viruses and fungus Ya'll have pointed out I have settled on Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus :hit

I found this website through Google that gives a lot of good information and what spreads it, I'm very happy that it doesn't seem to be a blight problem and now I have the murderous feeling. I'm going to go outside Pull out the infected plants bag them and send them to the dump on my next run. Then I'm going to spray everything with soap and water to kill any of the Thrips if they're there and I just haven't run across them. Little evil infectious _____!!!!(insert whatever word is appropriate)

Some of the last pictures look a lot like what my plants are showing... I wonder if I caught it early and it's just hard to find the information because of it. :hit

But just in case I WILL cut the main stem at the bottom to see if it looks healthy or not and at the top. Check for the little evil bugs on the infected plants and pray for the rest of the tomato plants to be okay.

I'll take pictures of everything and if Ya'll want Ill post them on here. Not the best picture taker but At this point I'm viewing it all as a learning experience.

How very sad this all is right now... So Off to the garden I go to do some destruction. Ya'll let me know if you have any other advise I could use! You've all been very helpful, and thank you for putting in some of your time to help me! It means a great deal :rose

I killed those two tomato plants. I have also been keeping a close eye on my other plants in the hopes that they do not get this spotted wilt virus or Mayhem. :/ So here are those pictures. Hope it helps someone if they have something funny going on with their tomatoes.

Leaves started to die off.

And the fruit, which looks healthy without the Circles or Halo that they are supposed to get?

I'm so sorry you lost those two plants. I'm still not a hundred percent sure what it was.

Me either. Just figured, as suggested, better safe than sorry. I have other tomato plants that are doing well, it just stinks because these seem to be doing better than the rest. :rolleyes: I got greedy lol.
Learning experience. It's always good to learn. :)

I've been spraying the under leaves and fruit with water,soap and baking powder. To try and keep bugs off. And kill any fungus before it starts (I read somewhere its a good prevention method)
Here's hoping :fl
