Tomatoes have a way of rebounding even if you plant them too early. This shows you what to look for to see if your shocked tomatoes are doing okay.
For a more in-depth look at planting tomatoes and getting your tomatoes off to the best start (including when NOT to plant your tomatoes), listen to Episode 14 of the Beginner’s Garden Podcast: Planting Tomatoes here:

I just transplanted 21 tomato plants to my garden from their peat pellets yesterday. I had no choice – they had grown so tall they were touching the grow light. I thought for sure they'd be flopping over in the garden today, but thankfully they all seem to be pretty happy. I have another 20 or so plants to put out in a week or 2, so I'm glad to know what to look for in case they don't take to the transplanting process as nicely as the first round. Great video!
good to know thanks
What do you have at the base of your tomato plants? They look like toilet paper rolls? What is it and what is it for?
I am so glad I found this – my tomato seedlings look exactly like this – I planted them 5 days ago – too cool AND got drenched with rain. I now have hope!
i just transplanted too, it looked droopy..help!!!
Thank you for the help I thought my plants were dying but there is definitely new growth so thank you for the help.
Good to know, solved my problem
I could not see exactly where you pinched the stalk with the phone moving. Please slow the video time to show the pinch.
