planted a yellow heirloom in a container, outside. tons of sun, well watered, not too much wind. althought generally health, recently the lower leaves started curling, should i be concerned? there were some bugs (aphids?) which I picked off and which haven't returned. time to break out the antibug spray? how does neem work with tomatoes?
thanks in advance,

My tomatoes leaves are curling on the top of the plant. We have gotten a whole lot of rain in the past week and I am wondering if this may be the cause. Any thoughts on this. My garden is saturated and the bugs and weeds are having a field day.

Tomato leaf roll is a common condition of minimum consequence. Aphids, OTOH, must be controlled if your plants are to thrive. Safer Insecticidal soap spray works, as does a simple, brisk spray of water. The water spray treatment needs to be repeated more often than the soap spray, but it/s free, save the water/s cost.
A horticulturist friend of mine saw my tomato plants do the same thing about a month ago. He said it was either too much or too little water. I began watering less, and the curling stopped.
