  • Tomatos, new growth curling?

    Hi,

    I am new to this forum and was hoping someone could help me.

    I'm growing tomato's for the second year, the first year was successful. This year my 4 tomato plants where doing fine until i started putting them out to harden them off. I noticed that on at least 2 of the plants the new growth has curled. I have continued to put the out each day but in a more shaded area. It has ben a few days since i noticed but they haven't improved. Any idea what has caused it? I have heard of virus from a fly that can cause this but they have been kept in the house until now. thanks in advance.

    Cold nights and excess daytime heat can cause symptoms like this. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it gets significantly worse.

      Erratic watering can also cause leaves to curl. Don't water them too much, overwatering causes more harm than underwatering because you drown the roots.

        I would think it's the warm days and then the drop in temp at night.
        They should be fine.

        And when your back stops aching,
        And your hands begin to harden.
        You will find yourself a partner,
        In the glory of the garden.

          As others have said, It's the cold nights that cause it. They'll be fine, just beware of any cold nights and make sure you have something to protect them with.
