Why are the leaves on my tomato plants curling?
Are they curling up or are they curling down? Any discolouration?
Normally caused by stress--upward curl too much water and downward curl by too little water. There are other possible stressors. See
Not sure this applies to tomatoes, but check the underside of the leaves for any tiny insects.

Try this for help:
Are they curling up or down, and are they curling from the tip toward the stem, or from towards the middle?

They're curling upward. I don't notice any discoloration.
I don't see any insects.
They're curling up.
Does this sound like your problem?

Yes it does, and I suspect it's over watering. I live in the Mojave desert and when it gets hot, I'm prone to watering cause when I get hot and thirsty, I think my plants are hot and thirsty also (grin). Thank you.
I have a grape tomato with yellowed leaves (at the top of the plant) and it has rolled down leaves. The plant is about 2-feet tall and has 2 green tomatoes and several buds, that look healthy. Is this the viral disease? Being that it is still late spring, should I keep it or buy an extra-large plant from a nursery?
