Weird leaf curling- Help!!

Hi,

Bought a bunch of heirloom tomatoes, and all of the ones from the same place started having the same problem. At first I thought it might have been over watering as we have had a ton of rain, but if that were it all should be having the same problem. Some of the leaves look fine, but all the new growth is deformed and the leaves are very small and curled. Any ideas? Here are some pictures-

Any weed killer any where in the vicinity, including at a neighbor's place?

No, none that I know of. Only the 13 I bought from one nursery are like this, all of the others around them are fine. I would have thought if it was 2,4D damage all would have been affected. I am thinking some kind of virus now. Any thoughts?

You said "I would have thought if it was 2,4D damage all would have been affected."

Not necessarily.

Seems strange that virus would damage so many plants in a home garden.

If the plants start to grow out of it, you'll know for cetain that it wasn't virus.

You are not alone. My plants are the same...EXACTLY. They also told me it was probably an herbicide issue, here. No herbicide was used on the property, but just in case, I rippded out my 1st batch & replanted, with the exact same result. I have no clue what it could be, but it doesn't seem to grow out of it. Looks like this year's going to suck for tomatoes!
