omgosh!! thank you, thank you.

Carl 6 thumbs up and counting buddy! Open your eyes did you read the thank you at the bottom or are you just one of those guys who attaches a mood to a line of text and decide for everyone the intent of text to be mean, if you post a video online especially a instructional / informational then it should IMO have at least some content worthy of value instead of being left to the imagination of the viewer. IE sample pictures / images if you don't have a current affected specimen to provide as sample... So mind your own pathetic beeswax!!! Carl my friend...

So your saying she was unprepared to demonstrate fully what she was attempting to Teach there Carl? Huh Carl ? Is that logical ? Hmmm.

You know u really ought to becareful insulting people personally you never know one person you insult might be your next door neighbor.... Mr Carl Duncan.... Is that your Mommy or what?

Watched it again, no difference... Blow her a kiss ,,your just in love cuz really my comments were'nt as you say but factual!

Thank you for allaying my fears. Really informative video, like the post preceding mine I am confused why anyone would give you a thumbs down.

Interesting. my plants are starting to do a similar thing. I have a raised bed and i watered almost everyday and then i mulched the bed and stopped watering so often plus the temperatures are now in the 80s and low 90s. I didnt want to cause root rot by overwatering but this makes sense. Other than that the plants look fantastic. Green and constantly putting out new flowers and not a single yellow leaf on them yet

I'm growing my first tomatoes ever, and some of the branches are actually twisting completely over and showing the bottom of the leaves up. Then many of the leaves are just kind of "taco-ing" and no pests, no real leaf damage or yellowing. I think maybe strong nutrients because I added this unlabeled stuff that my grandfather gave to me, and I've used several different sources, and some previously used media. Mostly Miracle gro garden mix. Anyways, they're growing some tomatoes (some about the size of a billiards ball) and no real damage. It just looks like they're flipping out over the hot weather right now lol.

Thanks for sharing.

Leaf Curling can also be due to the varietal genetics : that is, some varieties tend to curl all the time. Give you an example : Black Krim. One year in my garden it was the only one w/ curling leaves. The other ones in the same bed were just fine.

Thanks for this video. I had very similar issue with my tomatoes and figured it was weather that was causing the issue and this video help further confirms my suspicion.

My plants aren't producing tomatoes! I've had just two out of 6 large plants!

Very good verbage on leaf curl. I too have had a run in with herbicide , got it from a popular brand of compost too Black Kow. After mixing it in a brand new garden got that tight curly knots on tomato plants. I ripped those out of the ground and put new ones in. Same thing . It didnt affect any other crops peppers or green beans. Those plants did finally grow past the damage and put out some toms but the plants didnt turn out to be normal sized plants but good as could be expected. New flowers and toms did exist later.

Thank you! Now we know what is going on with our garden....lots of work to do tomorrow :( very very helpful

Here in SoCal, we have some funky weather this year. Monsoonal moisture, high temps and humidity. Good to know it isn't deadly for my 'maters. Thanks!

It's amazing to me how many people are on YouTube simply to say negative things. Even more amazing is those that have nothing but nasty and hurtful things to say. Bunch of jerks...

Very well done video...not sure about the negative comments...came here looking for some good info and got it! I have the same situation with my plants (leaf curl) but the plants seem to be producing plenty of tomatoes...nice to know this problem is common and probably due to unstable weather conditions ie: extreme hot!! Keep up the good work, it's appreciated!

blah, blah blah, boring.

Lousy demo , Why ? Because absolutely not a single close up picture of problem you are describing. How do expect a person to compare characteristics from just verbage?... Give some live illustrations along with your narration ... Thank you...

I water my tomato's in Australia almost daily and its not a really thick in soil it probably goes up to your nee's in hight. but as i have said i am watering them daily and most plants are curling up as well so im trying to discern why this is happing.?
