Contortions during growth

I have been watching my tomatoes grow, which might sound odd, what I mean is I have been observing them to see how healthy plants grow. I am still new at this, and still learning. My plants are growing faster than kudzu, and it is shocking sometimes to see the contortions the stems and leaves and buds go through. There are definitely some Dr Jekyll - Mr Hid moments where the new growth looks mangled and highly unlikely to turn into anything I would want to keep. But after a while all the flipped extremely curved strange contortions work them selves out and everything looks perfectly fine. There were times I was concerned, but I see now the plant is just growing like crazy and trying to manage itself.

I am sharing for the newbies. This might save some from being alarmed. I'll try to get some photos.
