Any backyard tomato growers out there, if so?
Question:why are all my tomato blooms falling off the vine. Great Vines 4 feet tall, dark green and no tomatoes...
Answers:
Me too, I'm in Florida. They don't like hot weather and the blooms start falling off.

That is what happen to me and I was told they needed wetter ground
.
That was the flowering phase under the flower there is a tiny tomato that will grow
yes, we grow tomatoes and berries in our bck yard. unfortunately, i really have no answer for you. maybe i can do alittle research for you? = )
blooms? as in flowers? because the new fruits are coming in...
Purify your clay. I used a generic soil they sell at your local department store.
Would it be because they weren't pollinated - that's the first thing that came into my mind.
Give your local Dept of agriculture a call or talk to a nursery to really find out. I've never had that happen to me.
Do not worry, they are doing good. The flowers were pollinated by insects and they are no longer useful to the plant so they fall off. Soon you will see little tomatoes growing where the flowers were.
what kind of tomatoes do you have and when did you plant them? if you take a look at that, you have have waited too long or not long enough. i grow baby tomatoes and they take only a few months to hatch. and your plant is in bad condition. tomatoes that large take around 4 months to start growing. if thy dont grow , then you may over water or have a bug that eats your plants
When you water your tomatoes make sure you do not get the leaves wet --- use a soaker hose.
Too much water or too much nitrogen in the soil or fertilizer. Nitrogen will give great green foliage but not too many blooms.
snip the top of the plants just above the blossoms this will put the energy to the fruit not the growing of the plant. the plants just get bigger if you don't and the tomatoes will be small or none at all.
