Where are you? Zone 6 extends from coast to coast; all it tells us is the
lowest temperature expected in your area in winter. All tomatoes curl their
leaves at some time. In the intermountain West, we have a disease called
"curly top virus," transmittable by beet leafhoppers. Leaf curl is
accompanied by leaf yellowing and coarsening to a leathery feel, purple
veining on the backs of the leaves (that also could signal nutrient
deficiency). Curly top is fatal to the plants. Some eat the tomatoes
anyway, I do not.  Margaret L
