Default Tiny, tiny beginnings...

My first set of blooms produced wonderful petals and sepals. But all I have now to show that pollination took place, is very tiny tiny tomato beginnings, even in the megablooms...! It seems the crazy weather has tampered with the fruit setting process, and the nutrients are rushing to the next set of flowers.

The first set was 'self-pollinated', or the plant only gently shaken. With the second set I applied the electric toothbrush technique, and that seems to have done the trick: much larger fruits that are rapidly growing.

Are my first fruits doomed to stay so tiny...?
I had several megablooms and was so happy, expecting some giant tomatoes.. but next time I am wise and use the toothbrush since the first flower opens her eyes
