Default Check this out please!

Babied my plants from seed and they have been doing great. I have had almost 100% blossom fertilization to this point with my helping hand, but all of a sudden it looks like these blossoms are not going to produce. I flick the blossoms each morning but this is happening on most all my 30 plants. Loads of fruit the first month or so though.

Maybe it's the heat? Pollen goes "clumpy" in the heat, and the flowers don't get fertilized .

I agree-it is probably heat or humidity. Hopefully at the next fruit set, weather conditions will be better for you.

Plants seem to know how much fruit they can handle. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

Yes Postmanrings; I agree with edweather because your plants are healthy looking.

This is the First year that all my Bushy Tomato Plants produced more than the Vine Tomatoes Plants. My Dinners Heirloom Tomato Plants are producing the Biggest Tomatoes some far; as I just pulled to cloth baskets of these Big Tomato, but they produce all at once. But I have a second load, coming Amen!!!!
