I just noticed my tomatoes are looking sick. They haven't been in the ground for very long. I'm not even half-way through planting yet. Here's a pic of two varieties of PL where the leaves are getting an unusual look and drying on the edge. I looked in the Tomato Problem Solver and the pictures don't look like that. These are older leaves. I dug the hole, set the plant in, covered with some soil, added a little 4-3-2 organic fertilizer and filled the hole in the rest of the way. They're in tomato cages and mulched with fresh, dry wheat straw. Lately, I dug in Sphagnum Peat Moss in my sandy soil. Maybe something on the straw? Chemical drift from neighbors on the windy days we've been having? Acid rain from the trace we received in the night? I didn't notice this yesterday. Thanks.

sunscald? did you vastly change the amount of direct sun they are receiving? or combined with water stress? too much water ?

Thanks, Swampr. Yeah, I'm sure you got it. My plants didn't have that much sun when I was hardening them off. Then on the weekend we had a couple 90 degree days with a strong wind beating on them followed by an 85 degree windy day. I'd say sunburn and windburn. I've noticed a couple of my Cosmos have sunburn. Didn't get much sleep last night and it went over my head. Sheesh! Not like it's the first time... Thanks, again!
