Tomato and pepper problems

[kazedwards]

a few of my tomatoes and peppers are having this discoloration and growing of the leaves. Anyone know what it is or what I can/need to do for it?

Looks like different things are going on.

Picture 1 could involve a few different issues, or something as innocuous as burned leaves from watering on a hot, sunny day.  Tomato diseases are complicated to call.  Others should add the benefit of their experience!

Picture 2 looks like septoria leaf spot (compare to the photos at the bottom of this link).  I try to control leaf problems by mulching (good!), pruning discolored leaves (trash, don't compost) and not watering from above.  Tomatoes, especially heirlooms, can be a pretty finicky lot without a lot of disease resistance.  Some years, I just lose 5-10% of my plants but the key is keeping things under control so the rest don't succumb. 

Picture 3 looks like a variegated branch on your pepper.  The albino (white) parts of the leaf don't expand as quickly as the green parts so you get a puckered appearance, although I suppose it could be a virus that is causing bleaching.  Aphids and other sucking insects can spread viruses in the garden, so removal is an option here as well if it starts to show up elsewhere, but I'd tend to just watch it for now.  Otherwise, those plants look pretty good!

Good luck!

Did you have all the rain many of us experienced? My plants certainly didn't look their best this year. Lots of yellowing from it.

We did all the rain as well. Very wet spring. We were already over 20 inches in May. In the last month or two it has been normal and hot.

Here is a better picture of the first plant.

I pulled allot the leaves that were affected today on all the plants but the first one. It has about 50% of its leaves like that. The pepper has fruit on the branch so I am leaving it for now. I think it is just variegated like Philagardener said. The fruit is actually variegated too.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm not the best with diseases yet.

That last photo,to me that looks more like naturally aging leaves, if the young leaves were being affected then i would consider that more cause for concern.
