Default tomatos...

i am in southeast texas and have several local varieties of 3 week old plants
going. they are looking outwardly very healthy, 12" to 24" high, and lush -
with the plants 2 to 4 times larger than when transplanted 3 weeks ago.
however the new growth leaves at the top seem to curl under and look withered a
bit, but seem to eventually become normal as the next new growt comes in and
looks the same.

i know it may sound wierd, but i cant think of anyother way to describe it. i
have grown tomatos in the same spot for years and never seen this before. i
did plant differently this time - soil well mixed with last years mulch and
well-composted cow manure, 3 tblsp of osmocote in each hole with the
transplants, a small mound of mushroom compost at the base of each plant, then
mulch. plenty of natural watering as this is our wet season.....

any ideas?
