Tony,
I am coming down to have a look send me you address.
I have been giving it some thought and suspect you may be wetting the leaves
with your watering system and with the warm weather promoting the growth of
the fungus.
I suggest you:
a. only water the ground around the roots;
b. put mulch (straw or something under the leaves to prevent splashing
water on to the leaves;
c. allow the top of the ground to dry out before re-watering;
d. when spraying for white flies and fungus only spray in the morning so
that the leaves can dry out quickly during the day;
e. only water in the early morning before work;
I have now detected some small white flies on my tomatoes, they appear
smaller than the infestation I got last time and fewer of them. We need to
be on guard.

Is there life after Alternaria Leaf Spot?
All my cucurbits have it.
The A.g.s the gourds and the cucumbers.
I have sprayed with a fungicide and will spray every few days.
My 1006 seems to have stopped growing at the two leaf stage.
It's looking very old and is a very dark green apart from all the
brown bits. There has been no new growth for two weeks.
I think I am winning the white fly battle.
Maybe they have spread something viral?
Should I give up and start again or will my plants survive?
Troubled Tony
