Tomato Flower

//Tomato Flower

If you are concerned that there is not enough fruit forming, it is because most tomato flowers are wind-pollinated and some flowers may form fruit, while others may not. You can get a higher percentage of pollinated flowers by spraying with a product formulated for setting tomato blossoms such as Tomato and Vegetable Blossom Set spray available at your local garden center. Also as the evening as well as daytime temperatures warm, you should be getting more blossoms. If you have not done so yet, make sure you feed your tomatoes with a slow-release or organic fertilizer formulated for vegetables because synthetic fertilizers are often formulated to encourage foliar growth rather than fruiting growth. Also tomato plants need 6-8 hours of full sun per day.
