Possibly. But are these plants in the ground or in pots? What’s the soil temperature and air temperature been like?
Temperature is a *big* factor in tomato plant development. They like a little warmth, and in fact, most cultivars won’t set fruit until night temperatures remain above 55oF.
You can set out big plants early and they may well survive, but they don’t grow much. In many parts of the US, if you direct seed tomatoes at about the time you’d ordinarily transplant, you get tomatoes from the seed-grown plants within a day or two of transplants. That’s how strong the temperature dependence of growth is.

As I watch this I’m wondering how just regular black trash bags would work.
Windy shoot it stays wind now days here in TX.LOL you have the same problem
i do cant keep stuff in my shirt pockets

with droppings
I know it is over two years since posted but I still would like to thank
Y’all for taking the time and for your generosity, in sharing your lives
and your techniques. So … just “Thanks”.
Great video. I love how you all work together to do things. I guess this is
what a family does huh? LOL My question is; What time of year is the best
time to plant them like this where you live?
you are more then welcome
Knowledge is a good family heirloom, it last forever if it’s maintained and
it’s always useful but will never degrade from heavy usage, in fact it
actually gets better with every use. However, like most other things, if
neglected, it will degrade over time and at some point be lost to the ages
like dust in the wind. Sadly this has been the fate of great knowledge…
Good farming. I learned last week that using red plastic instead of
transparent or black helps tomato plants grow/ripen more quickly, but the
experienced gardener who said this also said it’s unnecessary for here,
southeastern Quebec, Canada. Seems noisy at your farm tho; sounding like
you’re next or else very close to a highway that’s noisy & this must be
unpleasant. Farm looks good, but those noises from the highway would bother
me. Might be practical for distribution, but ….
I heard a turkey gobbler! Do you raise birds? I think you have quail but
turkeys too? Do you use the manure for fertilizer?
it’s time to plant them right now
Great vid nice job
Oh OK! Thanks for answering so fast. Love your family and your videos. Well
done! I have learned so much. Bless you all.
Your plant sounds like it is just fine, but it could possibly be a bush tomato and won’t get tall. Try a homemade tea for feeding. Here’s the receipe,and this makes a gallon of tea and works for any plant.
1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon epsom salts
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 gallon water
combine the ingredients and use for watering once a week.
tea cleans root system,encourages more blooms, and helps keep pests away, also can be used to spray house plants for aphids and white fly.
good luck

That sounds about right just water regularly and use some epsom salts on them or any fertilizer you like.
