Re: tomatoes

Yeah it's funny, I have 38 tomatoes (6varieties) planted in close proximity
and only one variety, the Green Zebras (my all-time favourite!) have this
leaf curl, but only badly affecting the bottom leaves. It's still growing
and putting on flowers, so I hope it'll produce fruit anyway.
