Tomato Pests & Diseases

Can you help me identify the problem?

14 years ago

I am in Phoenix, I am growing heirlooms in containers.

It has been very warm (70s to 90s) the last few weeks, with a day or two that was freaky and plunged into cold below 55 at night.

Seems since that cold snap - I have had an outbreak of something. I suspect fungal, but could be insects, as their was some aphids (killed them with soap and water spray).

I have been keeping a detailed blog of the whole process from seed to now - so you can get pretty much every detail (with high-res pix) relevant over here: http://desertpatiogarden.wordpress.com. The post about diseases and pests show my current issue.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

The images are a tad small to see all the details. That said, a number of the leaves have aphids on them.
