Strange Looking

[CdnChelsea]

You do know some of the other members here are going to be mad at me, Dumbo for not trying the epsom salts.

So after thinking about it for a minute, I (being a woman) changed my mind...
sort of...

I'm going to treat half the tomato plants with epsom salts and do nothing to the others.
This way, everyone is happy.

I edited my last reply to you on the previous page.

Yeah I know. But these people are wrong. Believe in voodoo and can't accept fact. Let them be mad.

CdnChelsea: Did you start these plants from your own seed? Or, did you buy them as seedlings from a nursery? If you started the seeds yourself then it might be worth starting some more, in a different location and different soil, just to compare.

Luckily, when I planted those tomato plants in the new garden, I also planted some of the same Brandywine tomato plants in other gardens and containers. The good thing is they are doing fine. No curly leaves...nothing wrong.

So I am thinking the ph in the soil could be wrong for growing tomatoes.
But the strange thing is, everything else in the same garden ... the perennials, annuals and pepper plants are doing great with no sign of any problem. It's just the tomato plants.
Oh and they are no longer producing flowers. The ones that were there shriveled up and died.

EDIT:
I don't see, "add magnesium".

EDIT 2:
Couple of Canadian sources:
Tomato Leaf Roll
http://agbio.usask.ca/pests-tomato

Name of problem: Tomato leaf roll
Problem type: Environmental
http://umanitoba.ca/afs/hort_inquiries/ ... _roll.html

Another EDIT:
If it was the leaf roll virus your leafs would be turning yellow.

The first link by the dozen experts say not to add nitrogen, or nothing high in "N", but they state you can try some phos for the roots, but to go light on it.

Would it be possible that the problem could be caused by the nearby cedar trees ?

I read this when I googled.
I'm not sure about how cedar trees effect vegetables but they have a fungus called gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae that can wreak havoc on fruit trees.
