| I put these in the ground three days ago, and the leaves are curling a bit (more on some than others), and yellowing. Different plants have varying degrees of it (my Speckled Roman pictured below has it worst, others are less severe). I planted them in a mix of Kellogg's garden soil and compost, with 4 tablespoons of EB Stone Tomato Food mixed in. They are in a raised bed. They got a gallon of water when they went in the ground, and have gotten a quart a day since (I am planning to dramatically reduce the watering frequency after a week). The day after they went in, it got super hot- about 90 degrees, then 80 the next day, and now it's back to the low-70s. I'm fearful of Yellow Leaf Curl. But they just went in the ground. Am I overwatering? Transplant shock? Am I being a baby, or is all lost? I'd love any advice from the forum. Thanks! Links to some more pics: |

| Has it been sunny and warm/hot? They will sometimes curl their leaves to protect themselves. Plants will grow ok even with curled leaves. |

| Google 'tomato leaf roll' for all the details. It is just a physical response to stress of some kind. Dave |

| Ed- yes it shot up to 90 degrees the day after planting. But now it's back to the low 70s. Dave- thanks, that's what I was hoping. But got spooked that it might be something worse. Many of the images online for Yellow Leaf Disease are fairly similar to those for Tomato Leaf Roll. |

| More than likely just a little bit of shock. They look like they will be fine. Mine that I put out 10 days ago look worse than that. Of course they went from 34 degrees to 88 in 2 days. |
