Your plants are possibly suffering from lack of light, lack of nitrogen, or lack of space. If you think any of these could be the issue, try either moving them somewhere with more light (if possible), adding fertilizer, or pinching back some of the leaves in the center to stop the plant from growing up and instead forcing new growth along the stem.
Best of luck!
Check out you tube voodoo garden he teaches how to prune them so the stem gets thicker. Plus you might aso have indeterminate tomatoes which need a string to climb, they ripen fruit over time where determinate flush fruit all at once and are a bush.
You say, you started too early. For the 75 cents you paid for pack of seeds, start over.
Thank all of you for your replies
lots of sunlight, and manure. if you're transplanting, plant the seedling deep, even up to the bottom of the top leaves. Tomatoes recover from rough starts with amazing speed
