Tomato Leaves

I’ve noticed today some leaves curling inwards on two of my tomato plants. Hard to describe but like when leaves unfurl on plant as it’s growing. Hard to get good photos. Plants look healthy otherwise. Any advice?

    It's what they do :)
    Mine are the same atm - they're growing fast and the leaves are unfurling

    Thanks. Pete.8 Probably didn't explain this properly.  The actual stem seems to be curling down too.

    Some varieties are more prone to this - Beefsteak types for example.

    It seems to be on more than one variety. Do I just leave them as they are?

    Don't worry - they'll sort themselves out :)

    Thanks. They seem healthy enough.

    It's probably due to chilly nights and relatively warm days.
    They'll be fine soon enough - the tops are curled on some of mine too as well as the top leaves - they'll be ok

    Thanks. As long as I get some tomatoes I’m happy. Costs me more to grow them than  buy but it’s the satisfaction that I’ve done it from that tiny seed!!

    They will also actually taste like tomatoes unlike the shop bought ones.  Enjoy your crop :)
