Wilting Veggies

Below are photos of my tomatoes, squash and watermelon plants that are having some issues. Any thoughts on what is causing this damage?

My tomatoes have stopped growing (or slowed considerably), my squash is getting gray spots on the leaves and some are yellowing and wilting, and the watermelon leaves have spots on them.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Jeff, I see your plants are surrounded by walls on two sides. Are they getting enough sunlight and air circulation? Tomatoes need at least about 10-12 hours of sunlight a day.

It's better to water them early in the day so any water splashed on the leaves will dry. Damp leaves left overnight are asking for problems.

My tomatoes receive full sunlight from 7am until about 3pm, so I don't think that's the problem, and I'm very careful not to water the leaves. I dunno.
