Thank you for replying and the concern.  The entire plant is curling, the stem seems to be thick and sturdy, but the leaves are all curled.  They are in planters, large planters.  I use rain water collected from the eaves of my barn to water them and water them in the morning daily. We live in a secluded area with no farm fields or neighbors around and we do not use any lawn services or spray for weeds, pests, etc.  This year I used bought potting soil to fill the pots, not miracle gro, just a common potting soil.  I used the soil removed from last year to plant beans and squash and they are growing just fine.  Prior to last year, I was able to grow tomatoes in these pots just fine, I just can’t figure out what is different last year and this year.

Thank you!
