   Hi Anajz,
   Well, I have to say that I’m really no expert…I’m not sure about the cucumbers, unless it’s some form of early stage powdery or downy mildew. What do the leaves look like underneath? Seen any particular bugs around? Here is a pic of downy mildew, you might compare with this: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/PhotoPages/Cucurbit/Downy_News/DownyFS7.htm
   Also you might call your county extension office and see what local diseases are around this year. If it’s any sort of blight, rust, or scab I’m NOT your girl!

   The tomato spots look like insect damage, maybe mites. Their populations explode when it gets hot. It might also be early stage septoria leaf spot (http://hflp.sdstate.edu/images/Septoria%20leaf%20spot%20on%20tomato%20leaf%2010x.jpg)
   which I found on one of mine. Apparently it’s caused by long periods of hot, humid weather which pretty much characterizes it around here lately.

   I have no idea about the bottom picture! What is that? Rose hips? Crepe myrtle blossoms? I suck at flowers, by the way!

   If I think of anything else, I’ll let you know.
   Take care,
   Lewru
