Tomato leaves curling... what's wrong?
I have several tomato plants growing in pots on our deck, in south east PA.
One of the tomatoes is being grown in a 5 gallon plastic container. It was a chlorine container which was thoroughly washed several times, with numerous holes drilled in the bottom. The plant is about 3 1/2 feet tall and is starting to produce a few tomatoes. The problem: The leaves are beginning to curl, especially on the bottom half of the plant. We've had plenty of rain (3" in the last week). Also I give it a good watering from the hose every few days. I have used potting soil with the time release fertilizer. What could be the problem? Please respond to my e-mail address as well. Thanks in advance for your help. Jim |

The problem: The leaves are beginning to curl, especially on the bottom half of the plant. If the plants seem otherwise green and healthy, I would put this down to physiological leaf roll. Some tomato varieties have and inherited characteristic (the wilty gene) which makes the leaves tend to roll. This occurs on the older leaves typically after the plants begin bearing fruit. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
