New tomato / flower broken off

Jeff_M · May 10, 2014

Howdy,
I am growing some Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes and they tend to bloom/fruit all in a row along a branch. I notice today many broken off right above where the fruit would grow.

I touched one of the small green tomatoes lightly along a row that was missing several and it just fell off without hardly any pressure.

What is going on? Is an insect cutting them off? Or are they really fragile and high winds are knocking them off?

Sorry pretty new at this but I feel like I am losing a lot of fruit this way
