My wife puts in a few tomato plants every year. This year she put in two plants; a Sweet 100 and cherry tomato. She got the foot high plans from the local nursery. The things grew like weeds....Loads of flowers but no fruit. I'm not any kind of an expert...Any ideas?

Have to be patient. If you have the blossums the tomatoes are on thier way. I love vine ripe tomatoes.

Do you see bees around? ; Maybe, you have to be a tomato pimp znd pollenate your tomato flowers with a Q-tip. It is most disturbing if you don't have pollenating insects around. If that becomes really widespread, a lot of us are going to starve.

The problem that I'm having with my tomatoes is that some critters are eating them just as they ripen and they ain't us.
