First of all, I apologize in advance for not hotlinking these. I tried for a half-hour and couldn't figure out how to do more than one at a time. I'll try to figure it out for any future postings.

I'm utterly new to tomato growing, so please bear with me. The leaves on a couple of my plants, Box Car Willie, are slightly deformed and scrunchy. They look kind of like raw spinach, as if they never fully flatten out. At first I just thought it was transplanting unhappiness, as I put them into pots a couple of weeks ago, but then new leaves were showing the same symptoms.

I searched the forum and the web, and the pictures that most resembled my plants were tobacco mosaic virus. I smoke so I figured this was a possibility. Then I found that this is rare, so I'm hoping it's environmental.

Other relevant cultural info:

potted in 60% topsoil 40% composted cow manure (1-1-1). I know this is not optimal, but I found this forum a little too late.

I grow on my roof in Brooklyn where it is very windy. I originally thought the compact leaf size might be a response to that.

I started these from seed and they were 8 weeks old when I put them out. The pics are from the worst affected, but other toms that I also started from seed also have more compact leaves than I would expect. I wasn't worrying until I compared my starts to the leaves of a couple I bought which have much bigger leaves (all planted at about the same time)

the damage on the underside of the leaf shown is not present on all the spinach-like leaves. The new leaves seem to show the same symptom.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated, as I'm totally new but quite interested in learning to do this right.

Thanks,

Matt
