heirloom tomato problem
I am growing heirlooms for the first time...doing so in pots as my space is limited...while all of my tomatos seem to be doing great my heirlooms leaves are curling inward on themselves..no sign of pests or disease just leaves curling in..any suggestions?

Leaf curl is perfectly natural on some heirloom cultivars - it's not a disease, it's the plant's response to heat. My heirloom Pomodori do this on sunny days, and until I figured it out, I was alarmed too. If you're not seeing any bugs and the leaves aren't going crispy, there's really nothing to worry about.
