First time problem with leaf curl. I have 3 varieties in the g/house.
Gardeners Delight, Roma and Sungold.

I also have 3 cucumber plants. All 6 plants are directly into soil.
Cucumbers are well ahead and I've cropped a dozen fruit. Lots of fruit on
tomatoes but not yet ripened.

The problem lies with the Roma. All the leaves are curling inwards. Any help
with diagnosis would be great. As yet, I'm not sure if it will effect
ripening.

Last year, the soil which now has tomatoes, previously had cucumbers. Don't
know why I swapped them round ..... hope it's not a factor.

This is quite normal for some varieties, as long as the leaves look
healthy then I wouldn't worry.

Thinking back to when we used to grow Roma (before the blight was so bad!)
they did curl their leaves more than others.

Thanks David and Bob. Hopefully they'll ripen. Bit worried there might have
been nutrient deficiency or something. Leaves look healthy - apart from
curling.
