| I have 5 tomato plants in 15 gallon containers. They have been doing pretty well. They are filling out and all have blossoms turning to fruit. We've had some warm weather the last few days (I live in the Bay Area) but I held off on watering because the soil seemed moist down in the container, and the plants looked happy. I decided to fertilize when I watered tonight (a granular organic fert). I notice after watering that the leaves curled in from the sides. Should I be worried? Might this be from getting cold water after a hot day? Or getting fertilizer when the plants might not have needed it? Do they just do this at night? My plants were looking so good, I hope I didn't just mess them up...Any advice welcome, thanks! |

| any chance of pictures? |

| Leaf curl from stress of some sort. Usually doesn't affect the growth of the plant. You should be ok. |

| Thanks guys. No, I don't have a pic. The leaves look a bit better today. Maybe they just reacted to the blast of cold water and fertilizer last night after a hot sunny day. I've read that the plants are supposed to be watered some BEFORE getting fertilized? I did not do that. |
