These were "patio" tomatoes. Lately the leaves have turned this sad green and the leaves have curled inward. Am I overwatering? Is it time for fertilizer?

If overwatering is a possible concern, I would try to correct that before applying fertilizer, Especialy if these were planted in potting soil that already contains chemical fertilizers within the last two months. It's not good to chemically over-fertilize an already stressed plant.
If I was pretty sure that the soil fertility has been completely depleted, then I would try scratching a bit of compost or wamcastings in the soil and/or giving it compost tea (fresh AACT if I have some).
When I'm not sure why a plant is ailing and I want to do something about it rather than wait and see, I apply diluted AACT as foliar spray.
