I planted my Tomatoes on March 4th,the stalks are almost 3' tall with nothing but Blooms. Never had this problem before.
Suggestons or comments?
Your going to have to polinate them yourself. Lack of bee's in your area ?

Who knows? I generally blame it on the weather, or bees, or both. I personally do not think bees pollenate tomatoes that much. I thump my tomatoe cages with a stick, daily, for the first couple of weeks of blooming.

I'm going to try some clover honey up high this year or go into bee keeping. I saw few last year and a guy at the feed store said they are highly atracted to honey. Just a thought

you could try some blossom set from a nursery. My grandmother used to say that you had to whip em with a willow switch. I just shake the cages to spread the pollen around. good luck.
Get a feather and just start carefully start touching the blooms. Good luck.
