Has anyone seen tomato leaves curling before like this? No sign of aphids or anything, plants are otherwise well

    Temperature changes can cause that ... warm days and cool nights.

    Interesting, the window is double glazed in a centrally heated room but I can try insulating at night

    I agree - just put them somewhere away from the window at night and return them in the morning

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I'd take them away from that cill with a radiator and onto one which gets less heat  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    There are no better cills (conservatory would be worse), the radiator isn't on much now but I can certainly move them at night when I bring the hardening off tray in

    Ah - do you mean they're outside during the day?

    No, though they've had a couple of afternoons out when it's been really warm, 20 ish. I just mean that as there's a crate to get in and out anyway it won't be too much extra faff moving them off the windowsill.

    Good stuff  :)
    Fluctuating temps can cause a bit of variation in growth/appearance. I think that's all that's wrong  :)
