It's not as simple as I thought

Hello Pamela, I agree with Barry, you must have bought cherry tomatoes.
But all tomatoes flower, then start growing fruits, and finally ripen as they become full grown and ready to eat.
I'm guessing they didn't have a label when you bought them perhaps?
Also, your comment about
maybe it's because it's the first year - well tomatos are not perennials, they are only annual plants, so only last for one season.
