    There can be a few reasons for leaf curl on tomatoes.
    The hot temperatures may be a part of the issue. Uneven watering also may add to the issue.
    Horse manure generally will break down in 2 to 3 months and makes great compost. You do need to look and smell to make sure. It should look like soil and not have a manure odor.

    Here are a few links for you.

    Patience. Normally if tomatoes will not ripen, it is an issue with the temperatures and time. Tomatoes need heat to ripen well and if they don't get that, they may stay green for some time. If it has been cooler than normal in your region, this is likely the reason behind the green tomatoes. However, with a little time and patience, they will eventually begin to turn color and you will be able to enjoy them. If your tomatoes are getting quite large and you are afraid they will either die or you simply cannot wait, then you can ripen them yourself.

    The following article should be of some help to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/tomato/best-way-stake-tomatoes.htm

    I like to use either 4-5 ft. wooden or metal stakes and secure the plants by using strips of pantyhose (though you can also use twine). With the hose, you don't need to worry about the ties cutting into the plant stems as they grow because they stretch.

    The most common reason would be lack of moisture, but there could be a few other reasons such a a fungus.

    Tomato plant leaves turn yellow for many different reasons. Peppers suffer from many of the same afflictions as tomatoes and most likely are turning yellow for the same reason as your tomatoes.
