Getting Plants to set fruit.

semi_lucid · September 3, 2011

I Have 100+ tomato plants that have grown to large size plants, but fruit set has been disastrously poor.

I live near Amarillo, Texas, and the drought and heat have been brutal this summer.

I'm still hoping to make some fall tomatoes if the freezing weather holds off a bit later than usual. I'm hoping I might keep the plants going into early to mid November if I cover them with plastic at night.

Is there anything I can do to get them to set some fruit?

My peppers have done fairly well despite the heat.
