They look healthy. Are they staying there? Are they indeterminate? I ask because they are pretty close together. I assume the bottom of the bags are opened so that roots can go into the ground as they get taller?

For now. But I predict they’ll stall because the roots are restricted from growing deep. They’d grow better in pots, I would think

It’s quite common in various parts of the world to grow tomatoes in potting soil bags. They look great

yes, very healthy looking but I think 2 tomato plants in one bag is a bit much unless those are dwarf cherry types (aka patio variety). I would have taken the bag straight up and down, taped it on the ground a couple few times to make all the soil go to the bottom and planted one that way. More like a pot that way and deeper.
I would be interested to see them in 3 months or so. For all I know they might thrive.
