Default Tomato leaves curling...is normal?

I have changed the watering lately - I completed a sprinkler system, and now
it gets a good soaking twice a week. I would not thing that would stress it.
Also, the temp has increased about 20 degrees this last week. I'll watch it
to see where this goes. My tomatoes are doing very well, I would hate to
loose them all

It is most likely caused by stress. To dry or wet or newly
transplanted? Or there may be a sap sucking pest in the curled leave.
Finally, it may be one of several virus, this is the least likely, this
year I had a grape tomato with a virus. With a virus the leaf not only
curls but becomes mutated and does not even look like a 'mater leaf.

Hi Matthew,

I don't know if it's normal but mine are starting to do the same thing
so I guess I'm more bumping this to the top than answering. I'm gonna
read up on it later so maybe I'll find an answer then.

Cheers
Neil

I just noticed that the leaves of my tomato plants are starting to curl
upwards. The plants are otherwise healthy, quite vigorous, and just
starting
set fruit. Is this normal, or something to worry about?
