What's Wrong w/ Abe?
Out of 57 plants this is my only Abe Lincoln and the only plant that looks like this. It doesn't seem to be extending and is paler green than I think it should be:

It looks like iron deficiency. Some leaf deformity, calcium too?
Older growth looks normal? http://www.extension.org/pages/9868/...e#.VYSXWd_iuk0 |

Have you tried a little Epsom Salt? When my Abe was young it looked somewhat to yours. I thought it was sick at first because it didn't have as dark green of leaves as the other plants, but after a bit of Epsom Salt, it greened up and looked like the rest of the gang.
Hopefully somebody else will have some suggestions for you. I know it frustrating when something starts to go wrong and it always seems it is when you only have one plant. Looks like Ray got you. I am glad. I would go with his suggestions. : ) Last edited by Starlight; June 19, 2015 at 07:08 PM. Reason: addition |

Older growth definitely looked more normal. I only planted one Lincoln, but originally had two (one given away). I noticed both plants 'leaned' over far more than any other tomato variety, but otherwise they seemed healthy.
