Have you checked for pests? Aphids can be green and hard to spot if you look casually. But you’ll see them more around. If you see those, you can blast them off (carefully, of course!) with a hose and apply a safe insecticide. I use Arber as it’s safe for plants and fruit/veggies.

It looks like the soil is a bit dry. Maybe it’s just a little dehydrated?

Tomatoes are whiny little hags. 😉 They are so sensitive to higher temps and dry conditions. They require 1-2 inches of water per week! If the weather is hot and dry, you might have to water daily. If they are planted in a container, they can need a gallon of water per day. You can over water so you'll have to be careful because they don't like wet feet. Tomatoes (or any plant that flowers) tend to like more acidic soil. I use a simple soil meter to check my tomatoes. Monitoring the pH of your soil is a game changer. If the soil is too alkaline, your plant with be sad. You can make the soil more acidic by watering with Epsom salts, Citric acid powder, soil acidifier, or coffee grounds👌. Once the weather where I live gets over 80-85 degrees or higher, I'll also mist all the leaves of the plants to keep them cool and prevent sunburns. What kind if tomatoes are you growing? 🍅
