I’ve been watching the UV index instead of the temperature and where I am it’s mostly in the 6-8 range. Every so often a day that’ll be 9 or 10. My tomatoes are still small since our season starts later than you. We were getting cold nights until a month ago. Do I need shade cloth yet? Or when I have more consistent days of above 8?

Tomatoes loathe full sun. They're a part-shade species. They can take it in the spring when the days are shorter and sun is weaker, but in summer, even in northern latitudes, it's often too much. It's even worse at high altitudes where the air is thinner.

Peppers will do the same. I grew an 8' round habanero in a five gallon bucket on year and it did not like direct sun. I would wilt in hours , I thought I killed it 3-4 times. Once I left it under a mulberry tree canopy it flourished into one of my best harvests ever.

@@2MinuteGardenTipsI planted a jalapeno between two tomato plants close together and thought it might be a problem. It's doing very well and I think the little bit of shade is probably helping it. It still gets a lot of sun but has some protection. My tomato plants look great except they are taking way too long to make fruit. I probably just fertilized too much.
OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS HAPPENING IN MY GARDEN lol, seriously I appreciate it. I’ve got shade cloth and been waiting to get everything ready to get a true structure built for the shade cloth, but sounds like it may be worth just getting something up, and working on the structure when I have time later.

I do that same thing! When I go fishing, I try to think like a fish.
Completely valid explanation for leaf curl but here in the UK, particularly in Scotland where I am, there is much much less sun and way lower temp than you. My outside tomato leaves still curl but that is usually because they are stressed from low temps and high winds.
This is my first year (of about 30) placing my tomato plants in 3/4 shade. I did so because one of my dogs loves new tomato plants as a snack and can't use my usual location. So far they are doing as-well or better than any others that I've transplanted.
Prior to your excellent video, I decided to plant 5 tomato plants in the understory of my forest in the leaf mold. Planted same varieties in my full sun beds with shade cloth on now. Anxious to compare results. Thanks for your awesome content.
My wife and I just moved our planters under some shade. Morning sun and afternoon shade. Thanks for the info!
Shade cloth was a game changer for me 👍
Thank you for answering this question. I have one tomato that has had leaf curl from the word go but it is full of fruit and shows no sign of disease. I quarantined it because I thought it was diseased. I’m in Australia in the tropics so next year I will put them all under shade cloth. I may also have started them a little early in the season before it cooled down sufficiently.

We are currently going through a bad heat wave of 100+ temps and yesterday it was about 113! The other 2 plants look fine. I'll keep an eye on this plant and see what happens. I guess I can move it to partial shade, but for the experiment's sake, I'll keep watering it and see if it makes it. I could also put up a shade cloth. I'll see how the next few days go.

I really appreciated this video. I have been growing tomatoes for years and I have a tomato that I noticed curling near my garage. It has white siding and faces the south side. I think it has extra solar radiation because of this reflective wall. This video makes PERFECT SENSE. I never thought of it like this that it was the increase in solar flux. I just assumed that the tomatoes were dry so I watered them and nothing happened. Stumbled across this video and now I learned something new.

Oh, now I am confused. We have had lots and lots of rain lately, with many cloudy days. My tomato leaves started curling. I did some research online, and most places said the leaves will curl with too much rain, but when the plants dry out, the leaves will uncurl! We have not had a lot of hot sun here, so I don't think they are curling because of that, so maybe there are more reasons for them to curl than you stated? I was happy to learn that they would uncurl when dried out, but now I'm wondering. Very confusing.

People sometimes mistake herbicide drift damage with leaf curl as well. If the leaves and stems start growing in curly shapes, this is most likely herbicide damage. It usually does not kill the tomato plant but stunts it and may delay it from setting fruit. There are some commonly used lawn weed killers that are quite prone to drift and tomatoes are very sensitive to these chemicals.

Our Roma tomatoes are in the ground they have never had an issue but we find this with our indeterminate cherry tomatoes but we have them mostly in containers and we start them full sun in spring and as they start to look unhappy we slide them further to the west side of the house so they are partially shaded for part of the day.

Interesting!
Very good description of tomato leaf curl. However too much sun is only one problem. I experienced serious tlc after using Black Cow in my tomato bed. The most likely cause was that the manure came from grass fed cows in a pasture treated with weed killer. The next year I planted tomatoes in the same spot but removed most of the soil and replaced with compost and I again have beautiful tomatoes.
Always thought full sun... not possible in my mottled yard of mature oaks. Then moved the entire garden to the second story deck for convenience and keep vermin, chickens and pest away, plus older. Last season was the first and what a season it was... better tomato production than ever... Full sun only moments a day. Leaf curl way down and here thought it was blight of some type... Thanks!
