Is This a Problem?
I'm a bit worried folks, not hysterically so, but worried all the same. My tomato plants are lush and suprisingly huge, already hanging with green orbs of expectations. But, my well-loved Black Krim plant looks strange. Although the plant is growing with vigor, blossoming beautifully, and apparently as apt to bear fruit as a bad decision, its leaves are curling.
This plant's leaves have curled like this throughout all of its life so far. I've looked for bugs, fungus, or some other type of obvious cause, but have found none. None of the other plants in the octagon are affected, and this one doesn't seemed slowed down by its case of the curlies.
Should I be worried? If it is a real problem, does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks for your input. I really, really am looking forward to a good crop of Black Krim.

Don't know why other tomatoes in plot aren't affected. Could be the Krim is more sensitive to water issues than other varieties.
There could be a whole host of other reasons, from 2,4-D drift from another garden patch, to viral problems, but these usually manifest in other obvious symptoms than just leaf curl.
You could experiment with the watering, but the proof will be in the setting and healthy growth of the fruit. No need to be hysterical at this point.
I was out to the plot today and it does in fact look like Sunday's rain made a difference for my curly-leafed tomato plant. A few leaves are still curled, but over all it's looking much better. I hope your plant takes a turn for the better, too.
