    Blossom drop
    Posted by Kimm from 4a/5b-MI on 2002-06-30 06:59:51

    Several things influence blossom drop, one of which is heat. If your temperatures have been hovering around the upper 80's your tomatoes are not going to set fruit. You could try a shade cloth tent to try to lower the ambient temp around your plants.
