I have tomato plants in my garden that are beautiful, and blooming but will not make tomatos.?

What do I need to do to get the blooms to produce tomatos?

Several things may be going on. I would first ask if you or any near by neighbor have used pesticides. If so you pollinating insects may have left.


Too much water can also cause the blossom to fall off. check your soil, take a trowel and dig the depth of your tool and see how your soil is. Often the top of our gardens look dry when in reality underneath is very moist. If this is the problem back off on the water.The tomatoes need to actually dry out in between. Also if you are using fertilizer is should be one for tomatoes. Al purpose fertilizers like miracle grow are good for shrubs and plants but it tends to make your plants put forth too much new growth instead of fruiting.


Yes sugar water spray will help to attract bees and such if they are near. Otherwise you can pollinate yourself with a small paint brush going flower to flower. If a flower does not get pollinated it will fall off. Hang in there there is still time for your tomatoes!

Reply:Where I live it is still a little too early for tomatoes yet. Are the blooms falling off or dying? If the blooms are still there then do nothing they will eventually turn into little green tomatoes then start to get bigger.

Reply:If you have been planting them in the same spot each year, the soil is most likely depleted. Try some plant food - i recommend fish emulsions or earthworm castings. You can get them at your local nursury, or here: http://www.windowbox.com/cgi-bin/store/p...
