Tomato leaf curl is a common physiological and disease-related problem that affects tomato plant leaves. The most common symptom is the rolling up, twisting or curling of the tomato plant leaves. There are a variety of causes, some of which are harmless while others write off the affected plant. Depending on the cause, tomato leaf curl can be reversed or resolve itself, often within hours. Furthermore, determinate and indeterminate tomato vines tend to be impacted by leaf curl quite differently.

When to Pick Tomatoes Information

January 22, 2022Posted inGardening, Vegetables

When to pick tomatoes depends on the tomato type or variety under cultivation. Green, purple and yellow tomatoes, for example, provide different cues for picking so do heirloom varieties. Nonetheless, regular red tomatoes are generally ready to pick for indoor ripening when they start developing a blush red color on the blossom end or sides of the fruit. These tomatoes can also be picked when deep red and fully ripened although vine ripening exposes them to pests and risk of other physiological problems such as splitting.
