I wonder if your problem is scale or spider mites.  This past winter was the
driest in history and I had the same problem. I thought that I was
under-watering or had a nutritional deficiency.  Send leaf samples to a
local lab.   The answer was spider mites.  I never did succeed in getting
them under control, but if you don't, they will attack the flowers,
deforming them, and then poor fruit set.

Anyone have ideas for controlling spider mites and scale.  Safer soap
doesn't seem to do the job.

It didn't kill the plant and I didn't notice a huge change in the harvest. Just looked a bit unsightly. Some varieties seem to be extra susceptible to leaf curling - Tumbler comes to mind.
