Default Crazy leaves, or "What's wrong with these tomatoes - too!"

My pear tomatoes have taken a strange turn. I started them in June, only to have the hottest week I can remember happen, killing all but three of my seedlings.

They're grown in freshly made hot compost/potting soil. I make sure the compost reaches and holds a temperature 4inches or 100mm from the surface of 140 - 160 F for as long as it takes. Heaps that contain 5 or more cubic yards and are completely turned every 3 days to 1 week.

Once the pile reaches 110 - 120 F, I spread it and plant directly into it. No mulches for these three plants. For months without a problem and suddenly show these crazy looking leaves.


This one is planted next to the other two, looks just fine. Exact same soil, same light, same water...


These other two plants have this strange curling and undevelopment to the leaves. All the bottom foliage is the same, and looked similar and healthy until a few weeks ago.


This is a clump of leaves. The plant has nice berries growing, some as big as two inches stem to base.
