What diease is this?

Hey folks,

I live in Ashland, MA and first year growing tomatoes. I have two Sweet 100s and two Husky Red Cherries in containers. I did not realize at the time what vigorous beasts these things are and have now regretted putting them in puts, but what is done is done.

So I am starting to notice that the husky cherries are developing some weird white spots on the leaf. It almost looks like leaf mold, but the Sweet 100s have yellow spots. I dont know if they are suffering from the same problem, but I have noticed the following symptoms.

- Sweet 100s are yellowing leaves, primarily at the bottom of the plant. I have cut them off.
- Huskies are also at the bottom, but spread more liberally. The leaves affected by this white stuff become soft and mushy. I have cut the ones that have turned mushy, but left the seemingly healthy stuff while I determine what it is.

I have some pictures on facebook (link provided)

Image attached of the example white stuff.

Difficult to see detail in the image. And Facebook wants me to log in.

The white spots are spearding all over the place now..we have had quite a bit of drizzling and the moisture does not have a chance to dry out.

Getting concerned...
