Hi all. My tomatoe plants have been doung fine in the
ground and have only just started flowering. The leaves were soft and green but iv noticed over the last two days that the are dry to touch and are curlimg in on themselves.
The plants get wartered well and fed with tomatoe feed 2-3 times a week. I have given them epsom salt to see if that would help. Any ideas?

Leaves curling are usually due to draughts/wind and temperature fluctuations and is to be expected. I don't think there's anything wrong with your plant.
Cut back on the feed. You don't start to feed tomato plants with anything until the first tiny green tomatoes appear, then feed once a week and try and keep the plants evenly watered in between times.
It's getting late in the season now, so not sure if you'll get much or anything off your plants. I'd pinch the tops out after a couple of trusses have formed to stand a chance of getting anything this year
Best of luck
