I have one Roma plant that looks like it's being baked to death. I seem to recall that Leaf Curl is a real issue, but don't remember much else. Can you refresh me, and give me a hint as to what to do? Is this the one that responds to eggshells? Or was that end rot?

egg shells can help with Blossom end rot..
Leaf curl...can be several things...Are they Yellow? If not, it's probably not serious...Leaf curl, also called leaf roll, usually does not affect the quantity or quality of the tomatoes could be: Rainy weather combined with cool temperatures over-pruning or lack of water Over watering...usually due to poor drainage
Worse case scenario.. Sucking insects like the sweet potato whitefly and aphid transmit a disease known as the tomato yellow leaf curl virus. Usually affects tomatoes that grow indoors. Leaves that curl upward occur in the first stages of infection, then the leaves curl downward and become yellow.. Hope this helps

Ive noticed that on some of my tomato plants also only the ones that have the larger potato leaf the verity is Costuluto Genovese otherwise they are fine...plants are nice and green no browning or yellowing at all.
