tomato plants not doing well

I'm in Oakland County, Michigan. The majority of my [heirloom] tomato plants are doing really poorly..... as in NOT growing at all. Nothing has changed from the way we planted the last 5 years. Others having this problem?

I'm in Ortonville. Mine are doing remarkably good. I've had to do alot of spraying for bugs and disease. Fruit on plants are just starting to get ripe. I've been getting alot of green beans for the last three weeks.

yep, this year noted for slow stunted growth at my community gardens whereas at home patio and small patch of about dozen toms have created jungle. So go figure. I had really bad luck this year with septoria but many people did due to weather. No diseases at my home maters yay!

Good to see some neighbors here. I'm in Birmingham!

My plants are doing well, but wilting in the heat. Not the best year, but definitely not the worst. My best year is when I tilled in a lot of compost a couple of weeks prior to planting. Hugh plants and lots of huge fruit. For this year, I put the compost down last fall. I think I'll go back to the spring application. Of course, I know this weather is playing a roll.
