Whatever it does, when the chance of rain goes away, I'm going to make 1.5 parts milk to 8 parts water solution and spray the plants down good. I'm thinking it will be this evening when I can do this.

I figure it's best to spray this solution in the evening anyway. That way, the plants can dry overnight before the blistering sun comes out tomorrow.

I have a feeling that it is the beginnings of Gray Mold. The county ag guy told me last year that Gray Mold is what gets a lot plants around here. What I have read about using the milk/water solution tells that it prevents and even cures a lot of diseases and mold. I hope so.

I wonder if there is a way to prevent Gray mold from happening?

Lots and lots of mulch.
Never mow when the dust will get on the plants.
And cross your fingers.
I have found that the black tomatoes get it worse than any other variety I have grown.
I know you have read about the several ointments sprays and salves they have to help prevent it.

When I see it I just take out the plant as soon as I can.
One time I had one black cherry amongst other black cherries come down with it.
