I've had this on my chillis for the last few years.
They always seem to suffer from aphids and whenever I've found curly leaves, there's usually a small colony of greenfly hidden in the curls (usually quite hard to find).
Apart from the natural deterrents like Marigold, Poached-Egg plants & Basil, the only really effective treatment I've found for aphids is Derris (available from the Organic Catalogue).

That about covers it....!
Not only did the very lovely Piglet's plant-swop plants do that, but also Seedlings'...!
No worries though guys, small price to pay for the sheer giggle-factor we had. Serves me right for not checking them over before I put them in my greenhouse, eh?
They're doing fantastic now though...

Oh dear, I think the Peperoncino that Seedling gave you was one of mine, so don't blame her. I sent her out to get rid of a tray full of spare chillies. The strange thing is, I don't have any leaf curl on any of the 100 or so I have in my greenhouse so if I did dump the only infected one on you I'm very sorry. ![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
