Default First Major Problem of the Season!

I've had an outbreak of gray mold! So far, it's limited to about 6-8 plants in a poorly ventilated area. We had two days of unseasonably warm weather, and this morning the plants were looking bad. They seemed perfectly healthy just three days ago -- so healthy and lush that I thought "I should thin out those plants to increase the air flow" -- but, I didn't get around to it. Then the hot weather hit, and now they look terrible! I cut off all the infected leaves and stems that I saw and my husband sprayed them with b54red's bleach mixture this afternoon after the sun went down. Tomorrow morning we'll spray with copper soap. We've been spraying weekly with Neem oil, but it just wasn't enough.

These are plants that were planted out the first week of March, and they are covered with tomatoes -- DARN IT!
