I find that my tomato plants grow very slowly.Sometimes no difference in weeks.I have a plant right now that has four leaves and is about 3 inches high which was planted more than 2 mths ago.Its a cherry varietythat's supposed to be early.Its been this size for 3 weeks now.Is there a problem with the soil ?Does it like loose soil or clay?Should I feed it ?Its in full sun as I live in Singapore so that cant be the problem.

How is the weather and how many hours of daylight do you get this time of year in Singapore?  As I recall, tomatoes need a certain amount of warmth as well as a minmum number of hours of light (though I can't recall exactly how many hours).  Here is Southern California, most people find that tomatoes planted out in April sit in a state of suspended animation until May, when the soil heats up and the days get longer.  Then, suddenly, the plants burst into growth.
