Who (or what) is destroying my 'maters??

Paducah, KY

(x-posted to the Tomatoes forum)

I'm thinking thrips, but, for the life of me, I can't see anything...I've sprayed twice (ugh) with 3-in-1 "Garden Safe" soap (I hate doing even that...), and the problem MAY not be getting any worse, but I can't tell. Whatever it is is really only going for the Stupice tomatoes and the Mortgage Lifters. Also, it seems to have an affinity for lemon cucumbers. Anyone know what's going on?

Pictures below--sorry for the spam. :)

and the "final result"--curled-up death and rather soggy foliage....

And here's my lemon cuke.

Moonpye, I'm seeing the exact same thing on my lemon cukes and my early girl tomatoes, so I really hope someone with an answer posts soon. Do these happen to be from your own greenhouse? And did you see the symptoms appear after the plants were transplanted outside? That is where mine are from and I think it might be a greenhouse disease although I am only guessing.
