I have been growing tomatoes for 30 odd years andevery year, although I have a lot of tomatoes usually, the leaves curl up, they stay green, but when it gets to the third truss they start to curl up. Can anyone help?

Stop them when they show tom`s at 7 trusses,and feed twice a week, When they are nearly big enough to ripen cut the leaves in half to allow the sun to get to them, or put a couple of ripe ones at the base of the plant and they will ripen quicker or a ripe banana. I tell you this mainly for anyone just getting interested in gardening. I hope.
Thanks shylock, I only grow mine to 5 trusses and I have used the banana many times. I looked all over for information on the curling but found nothing, I didn't know it was normal as my father has been growing them for 60 years and his don't curl, I always thought it was because they got more light then mine. Many thanks I won't worry anymore.
