Leaves Curling Up

I noticed that the leaves on the bell pepper plants were curling up. It started about two weeks after I planted the bell peppers.  The nursery said that it was probably because I was over watering.  Then I started noticing the leaves curling on one of the tomato plants.  It was time to take action.  I have a drip system and set the timer to water every 3 days for a longer period of time.  It is better for the plant to get soaked and have some time to dry out rater than get watered a little bit every day.  Sure enough they were right the new growth had normal leaves without curling.

Lesson learned.
