In answer to your plant question ma'am, the conditions you describe (steamy, wet) combined with the symptoms (leaf abcision, tiny brown spots) lead me to belive that it is bacterial spot. I'm afraid that there isn't much of a battle to be fought if this is truly what it is- there are only losses to concede. Bacterial spot is often fought with copper based sprays but I have not had much luck with them. About the only 'cure' is to pull up the plants, clean up the debris, and hope it doesn't spread. The stuff is persistant as heck and highly contagious. Good luck! -Jim C Mild to Wild Open fields support- http://www.wildpepper.com/spacepodesy.html
