Hi,

Two of my tomato plants leaves are going yellow, drying up and curling.  I am watering them once a day and as they are fruiting I am feeding them once a week.  I've found a few black fly so have sprayed them with a mix of washing up liquid and water but was hoping someone should shed some light on the situation. They are potted tomatos.

This is what they look like





Thanks

If they're outdoors they've probably had quite a hard time recently with windy conditions and low night temps (even indoors conditions haven't been great lately.)

Don't spray them more than you really need to - wet leaves can increase the risk of sun scorch and also potentially blight.

They don't actually look that bad to me (tomato leaves are notoriously 'wimpy'.)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

As said, low night temps and water droplets that have dried on the leaves and burnt them, plus looks like something has had a bit of a chew as well. 
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
