Late blight or septoria or something else?

11 years ago



I've done extensive research on both but haven't been able to exactly match my photos. There were no concentric circle spot as with early blight. It has been a terrible summer for gardening here in Chicago: cold, rainy May and June, hot and dry July.

I am a beginner and didn't realize my tomatoes were indeterminate so have tried to learn quickly, but there is an aphid and whitefly problem. I sprayed a mixture of dish soap, oil, and water to stop aphids. Could this have caused a fungus?

I also heavily pruned, which may have opened the plant to disease.

The disease appears to start with black spots along the veins of the leaf, and then yellowing at the leaf tip to spread from there. It did not start at the bottom leaves, but all over. All 7 of my tomato plants have it.

The picture of the fruit is the only one like that, but there is zippering and blossom end rot on some others. They still appear to be ripening. The stems have lesions.

Please help and let me know what to do!!
