For the aphids spray the plants making sure upper and lower leaves are covered with neem oil,for the tomatoes you have a fungus,spray them down with a fungicide for vegetables.

Unfortunately, as far as the tomato plants with brown spots, it sounds as if they can't be saved. At least the cucumbers can be taken care of. Thanks for using Hometalk for answers.
Dawn dish soap and water make a spray saturate the plant and dirt around it they're gone
Moth balls spread the all around I also hear super will do the trick
Food grade diatomaceous earth is pretty cheap and non-toxic. You sprinkle on and around the plants. You will need to reapply often, especially if it rains or is really windy
