Yikes! Bacterial Spot? Blight? I have no clue!

LAKE HIAWATHA, NJ

Hey folks,

I am having some issues with tomatoes and peppers. Both grown in ontainers on my deck and having some minor to major issues, depending on the plant. Please take a look at the photos and let me know what you think? Many thanks in advance.

You can see on some plants, the fruit is being affected as well. Not to mention blossom drop like mad. Very few flowers have fruited beyond the size of a marble before falling off.

My first attempt at growing tomatoes, not looking too good.

And now for some peppers. This one is from a jalapeno plant.

Cubanelles...about half the fruit has these nasty spots. Upon cutting, the seeds are black, and just not suitable for consumption IMO.

Last of the issues is on my Cayennes. The leaves are mottled in color, veins very dark while inbetween very light. The camera didn't really pick it up very well.

I just had to post this one...cool pic i think. I've never even seen a red jalapeno before and this one looks like it will be a scorcher...guess I will find out in a day or two. :)
