i prevent it?

Rickjb39, I'm having the same problem, for the first time. I think it
is called leaf curl and it it transmitted by an insect. I'm hoping it
isn't in the ground and that next year, with wider spacing between my
tomatoes and green beans, the problem will go away.

leaf curl is proberly right because the leaves curl downwards before they die. i have my plants growing in a pot in the dining room window ledge so i think your safe to say they arn't int he ground, do you know what type of bug spray or replent i could buy to stop this problem?
