My tomato plant is strong and healthy and has lots of blosoms but no tomatoes.?
Question:
Answers:
Often the first blossoms fail to set, but if you are past that time, carefully observe to see if you have a shortage of pollinators, like bees, if this is so, you can do the job yourself witn a small paint brush,( Artist style) gently touching the center of one flower, then the center of another. Some greenhouse gardeners find this is necesary. There is also a spray called "blossom set" that you can buy.
I differ with Ohioorganics about bees being an issue, technically, they can self pollinate, but a little help goes a long ways, please read

Good luck
The site I posted earlier responded at the time, but fails now,
Try this one instead, if the other fails for you. 2 sites are better than one

Give it time. Most tomatoes don't start making fruit until early July if you planted between mid May and Early June. I'll bet in another week you will start to see fruit and than you get to wait "forever" for that first mater to ripen.
Since Tomatoes are self pollinators lack of bees should not be the culprit.
Be patient. Every blossom is a potential tomato
