I went outside this morning and found this on my watermelon leaves. I'm a bit concerned that this might be anthracnose or something else nasty that could potentially jump to my nightshades (the pepper and tomato bed is right next to the watermelons). What are your thoughts on these pics? I really appreciate any help.

W e used to have every problem known with melons & cucurbits until we started using a Bio Fungicides.
However I never saw any jump from the Cucurbits to Tomato's, eggplant or Peppers.

Thanks Marturo. Which bio-fungicide are you using?
We just started using these products 3 seasons ago with remarkable results,
The one that worked best for the cucurbits was https://www.amazon.com/Southern-Ag-...efix=garden+friendly+fungicide,aps,634&sr=8-1
The one that worked best for fruits & berries was. https://bioworksinc.com/wp-content/uploads/products/cease/cease.pdf
Okay thank you! I have some micronized sulfur laying around that I used on some fig trees. Maybe I'll give that one a shot before investing in the others.

That doesn't look like anthracnose - and if it were I think you would be seeing it in your nightshades before the cucubrits.
