Either way, the spray's the same and I think I'm going for it today. It's supposed to be cloudy from about 9 am on and although they're calling for showers later today/tonight, they've been saying the same thing for the past 2 days. I haven't sprayed because of it and we haven't had a drop.

Uh oh, the pictures didn't look too bad, but your description sounds exactly like LB. LB is very fast, so if it is it, you'll know in a few days. Watch for lesions of darker green on the vines and stems also, then collapse. I'm hoping that what you have is just a recoverable problem.

I've had LB before and it actually made me want to give up on growing tomatoes. Luckily, I got over that! Hang in there, Kath. Keep doing your spraying when you can and don't forget about caring for the rest of your plants. Oh, and be careful of cross contamination... just in case. Luck be with you!
