What's wrong with my Tomato Plants??

I have 6 Tomato Plants...was planted about 6 weeks ago, I have used Miracle Gro, and have watered as needed....Between the 6 Plants that are now nearly 3 feet high, I only have about 6 tomatos.....green of course right now, but they are getting bigger..there are 2 that have no tomatos at all.....there are yellow blooms on all of them....Do I need to be patient...or is there something else I need to do?? I am not a big gardener....so any help from an expert would be extremely helpful....THANKS!!

It sounds like you are doing good. The blooms should eventually develop into tomatoes. Just be patient and you should have more tomatoes within the next few weeks.
Reply:Have you been "pinching" off the "suckers" at the point of leaves and stem?


It is that small leaf growth, that if left unchecked will produce foliage and very little or no fruit.


These "suckers" will suck the life out of the plant if not pinched off continually throughout the growing season.





Check near junctions of leaves and stem!


Pinch off that small leaf growth and continue to check every few days, as they appear and reappear rapidly. Just keep pinching off these suckers.





Keep soil moist, don't let dry out and full sun!


Give fertilizer monthly.





Good luck and Happy pinching!

Reply:Those yellow flowers will eventually be tomatoes.Just keep watering your plants and mother nature takes care of the rest.





Funny little story: A neighbor told me he didnt see anything happening with his tomato plants. He said he picked off all the yellow blooms and tries to keep them neat and clean, so as I was trying to tell him not to pick off the flowers, he just kept on talking over me. He is pretty much a know it all, trying to give me advice on how to keep my garden all the time.


So I leave him to pick off his yellow flowers.......while mine are blooming and getting little tomatoes.....
Reply:Be patient. It takes time for the tomatoes to form and grow. You have blooms on the plants so that is a good sign. Now all you need to do is just be patient.
Reply:As long as your tomato plants are in a nice, sunny place and they have access to polinating insects, you should be fine. Those yellow blooms will turn into tomatoes (every one of them!)





Just take it easy with the Miracle Gro -- only once a week at most. And resist the temptation to water too much. Tomatoes like the heat, so don't worry!





It sounds like your plants are doing great. In about 10 days, you'll be amazed how many tomatoes you have. :)





Happy Gardening!
Reply:I have the same problem - they have not been pollinated. You need to do the job of the bees and use a cotton bud to move pollen from flower to flower
Reply:Everything is fine. Some types of tomatoes take longer to produce fruit than others. What kind did you get?


My early girls have 5 or 6 tomatoes on them, they are roughly golf ball sized and green. On the other hand, my "beef steak" plant has almost no fruit on it at all. Just alot of flowers. Both were planted at the same time. This is normal.





Most tomato plants take about 75 days to set fruit. Thats over 2 months. By mid to late July you will have plenty of them!
