Question by minor league fan: Why aren’t my tomato plants getting any blossoms?
I planted my tomato plants on May 1. They all look nice and healthy. Some are about 2 feet tall. But I haven’t seen any blossoms on the plants. Does anyone have any idea how I can get bblossomson the plants?
The plants get 6-8 hours of direct sunlight a day. Plenty of water. When I planted the peet pots in the ground I put a lot of miracle grow potting soil arouind them.

Have you checked early in morn or late evening for tomato worms? they are light green in color and have like horns on em..they may be eating the bulbs as they start to bloom or before..They are easiest to see early in the morning..if it’s not that then are they getting at least 6 hours of sunlight, plenty of water and nutrients? you can give them some all natural organic liquid food to help em along..

April 28th was my last freezing temp here. Now we are in a period of rain. What zone are you in?
Well they have survived so far… but lets see how they have progressed in a couple of weeks time. I gave a couple of those Russian heirloom tomatoes to the mother-in-law and she has them in her big front window which gets lots of sun and she already has some fruit set on them.
Spring has only just sprung and that is the first bit of colour in the garden.
I just planted some leggy tomato plants a couple of weeks ago – tempted to replant them using this method….. maybe next year…..
Well it was your technique that I followed. It has now been a few days since I made the video and they still have their heads up. I have no idea what the fruit will be like, for to tell you the truth I selected the plant for its foliage
I think you’ll be in good shape. Just might make the best tomatoes you’ve ever had.
nice looking flowers, the tomatoes will do great
Well I hope you are right concerning the tomatoes. All the plants I put in the ground have to contend with my black thumb of death. Most other gardeners have I green thumb. I have a black one
Those old Victorian gardeners knew a thing or two. I once visited the “lost gardens of Heligan” and they had amazing composting systems for heating cold frames so they could grow exotic fruits. It is well worth a visit to their web site at heligan.com
Those tomatoes will be fine…better than fine because I think laying the stems in earth is the best method to grow them. Victorian gardeners used to grow tomatoes up a string and, as the bottom trusses of tomatoes were removed, they would lower the plant until the stem was buried up to where the truss of tomatoes was removed. They did this the whole way up a greenhouse. I have been putting tomato seedlings into trenches in little pots and they are growing faster than traditional methods.
Add some phosphate. Also, are they getting enough sun?
