Help with Big Rainbow and Kelloggs Breakfast

Randall from WA · July 7, 2013

Hello All,

Newbie here to the world of tomato growing and I am enjoying it and all seemed to be going well until about a week and a half ago or so when the weather here in Washington State turned warm after a couple pretty rainy and cools weeks. We started out in May having a couple 80 degree weather weeks then it went back to the rain until probably 2nd to third week of June didn't rain continuously the entire time but was fairly cold and wet. Now about a week and a half ago or less the weather her turned nice started out in the low 80's for a few days had a couple of high 90's and now is back to mid to lower 70's. In the photos I attached my kellogg's breakfast tomato is all the sudden having issues on what a couple of weeks ago seemed like a very healthy plant. As you can see the blossoms are browning and have what feels like a "crust" of this brown stuff on the sepals. The tomato's to don't look great as you can see. I use Texas Tomato food just started using it about 2 weeks ago to great results on my other plants and I am assuming it is coincidence and that this problem had begin to set In before I began using this fertilizer. I have been watering about every 3 days since it has been warmer. Also the last photo is of a tomato on my big Rainbow plant and I am guessing that is blossom end rot but it to also has some blossoms that appear like the Kellogg's breakfast. PLEASE HELP!!

I appreciate any and all feed back! btw...the soil is gardening mix from my local garden supply.

Also I forgot to say if you look at a couple of the photos of the tops they are what I would call light pale green or yellowing and they are fairly curled and some of the new branches on them curled under.

The last photo of the Big Rainbow is just a catfacing scar.
As far as the other symptoms on the top growth, it could be signs a viral Infection.
You have other tomato plants that are not affected?
