Tomato plants not getting fruit - what am I doing wrong??
Depending on the variety of tomato, it may take a couple of months for the fruit to develop and ripen. You may not be able to see the fruit forming yet. I used to get really excited and then anxious at about this stage, too. My plants have barely sprouted yet and I'm in zone 5. Patience, my dear, patience.

Reply:Are the flowers being pollinated if not they won't turn into fruit. I know there is a lack of honey bees but other insects pollinate. Or look up how to pollinate your own tomatoe flowers on google, I think you take a flower and rub it on to another but you have to fiquire out which is male and female. Or it's just taking it's time I would think May is early for tomatoes unless you live in the south.
Reply:where do you live? in most areas, this is the beginning of vegetable planting season, and unless you have these indoors with grow lights they should'nt have fruit yet. if they are outdoors, make sure they get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, and don't drown them...this can cause bud rot (flowers fall off) just be patient, you will have luscious tomatoes soon enough
Reply:Next time you get flowers....get a small water paint brush (dry) and start touching each and every flower with the soft bristles. This will artificial pollinate the flowers. Make sure you touch the inside yellow pollin shaft. It appears you don't have enough bees to to it for you.
Reply:I used to have the same problem when I lived in the north. The problem is the ground is not warm enough. Place black landscaping fabric on top of the dirt to absorb sunlight to heat the ground and your tomatoe plants will start producing fruit.
Reply:I was told once you need to cut tomatoe plants, so that there is enough energy for growing fruits. But I don't remember how to proceed. That might be the reason however, so maybe you should call some gardening shop and ask. Sorry I cant help more.
Reply:Hold a piece of typing paper under the flowers. Tap on each flower and this will collect pollen. Then hold the paper over each flower and tap lightly to release the pollen on each flower. Obviously you don't have any bees or birds pollinating them.
Reply:Try artificial polination
Reply:What kind of tomatoes and where do you live?





As stated..it might be too early for them to bear fruit yet.
Reply:Tomtoes are self pollinating. That's not your problem.
