tomatoes - please tell me this isn't aminopyralid poisoining

[lulu25]

what makes me think it is: leaves curling up at the top, look pretty much like the pictures that have been posted

what makes me think it's not: only two of my seven tomato plants and nothing else affected (including a stray bean plant between the two that are); fruit look OK so far; no reported contamination at site

SO

is there anything less sinister that can do that to tomatoes?

My plants are curling a little too, but they don't look unhealthy, plus I've just eaten a tomato! Have I been poisoned?!
What is aminopyralid poisoning?

[mankymummy]

sometimes plants do curl and not for any sinister reason that i'm aware of.. i've had this before and the plants and fruits have been fine.

Thank goodness for that. It was the first one I've tried, it wasn't that great though.

[mankymummy]

thats a shame. what variety of tomato was it? was it ripe enough?

[lazaroulovesleggings]

I lost the pack. They are cherry ones. It was bright red so I picked it, but the skin was a bit hard. Should I have left it longer? THis is the first time I've successfully grown tomatoes.

[mankymummy]

possibly. wait until they give a little bit when you squeeze them. some varieties need to go quite a dark red.

Yes, I think I picked it too early. Thanks for the advice mm.
