Yes I have no tomatoes

My attempt at tomato growing is an abject failure .
Only two of my many plants have set fruit . I have loads of flowers but they don't make tomatoes .
I have spoiled those plants too

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

No tomatoes on my plants yet but I think it's early days, particularly for us in the north!

My dad used to tap the flowers with his fingers to help pollinate them and his never failed. Don't give up yet Muddy.

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

It's early days surely? I have three grafted F1 Shirley Toms, in the greenhouse, growing well, flowers are only just starting to form. Cucumbers are starting to form though along with the courgettes.

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

In a greenhouse but the doors are open during the day .
I googled it and they said it could be they were too hot or too cold or that no insects got in or didn't or too much feed or too little .
In short could be anything .

Re: Yes I have no tomatoes

I'm in a completely different climate, but we do start our tomatoes off in a wannabe-greenhouse.
Over the years I've found taking the pots out during the day has worked real well.
We plant them outside when the weather looks better - i.e. not torrential rain, etc. ie. not yet for us!
We have a good number of tomatoes on our plants now.

Hope your tune changes to yes I have lots of tomatoes real soon!

If you have got otherwise healthy plants, decent compost and feed, I don't see what else you can do, other than be patient, it is still very early yet.
