(aphids?) which I picked off and which haven't returned. time to break out
the antibug spray? how does neem work with tomatoes?

Tomato leaf roll is a common condition of minimum consequence. Aphids,
OTOH, must be controlled if your plants are to thrive. Safer Insecticidal
soap spray works, as does a simple, brisk spray of water. The water spray
treatment needs to be repeated more often than the soap spray, but it/s
free, save the water/s cost.

A horticulturist friend of mine saw my tomato plants do the same thing about
a month ago. He said it was either too much or too little water. I began
watering less, and the curling stopped.
