You can see a cluster of them to the bottom left and individuals spread around. We have them on raised beds near a maple tree in the yard because we were worried about the Kansas heat drying them faster then we could water. They get watered daily, they’re not injured or weird looking, but they just aren’t growing at all. What do we do?

Not pictured here is a Rosemary patch that’s doing exactly the same, tiny little two leaf sprouts that refuse to grow further or die off.

    Its hard to see past all the large debris over the surface, but a nice tomato patch should have more dirt. It might help to clean everything up at the beginning of the season. Soften up all the dirt with a hook claw thingie, then add a more soil if it feels too dense. The ground should be nice and soft at the beginning so that the roots can dig in.

    You might still be able to save them if you transplant them to a pot. Get the soil level higher just below the leaves.
