2. I am snipping such things off - they can be a sign of impending disease...

Of my 210 plants, 10 are on health alert - some have bacterial wilt, some fusarium wilt, a few with tomato spotted wilt. Other diseases here and there are Septoria and Early Blight (usually yellowing/brown spots on lower leaves) -

Yukon Quest is from the Grumpy family, and they tend to have foliage that curls in just as a genetic trait.

Pull that lower foliage and see if the plant just keeps going fine. Check back in for the next health advisory if it continues to go south!
