A many fungus among us..

Number 1

Number 2


Number 3


A sad day for the garden. While this did not happen over night, it certianly spread in less than a week to various other plants. Here are three different afflictions.
From the top: Number 1 is from my black prince plants. They started out the strongest seedlings, with the highest number of fruits among the non-cherry heirloom plants. I found mites on them, and this withering disease. So far my interent research has come up with little explanation as to what this is.

Number 2 is an example of my German Queen. The plant is nearly 80% in this condotion. There are new areas of new growth that is green and lush. However, these areas are now succumbing to whatever is killing the main plant leaves.

Number 3 is the only one I am fairly certian of. It's Early Blight, and with a few applications of a fungicide, it should clear up.
I hate to use it, but otherwise, the plant dies.
