Hello: I am very new to gardening and I have a very small garden growing in pots on my balcony. I have two tomatoe plants that are not producing fruit. I potted them in supersoil and they are about 6 months old. In addition, I have four corn plants and a number of herbs.
I water my tomatoes in the evening and they seem to be well in growth and color, but no tomatoes. Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Thank you. I have been using Best Tomoatoe and Vegetable Food. 6.10.10.
I do have flowers, but I'm not sure what a pollenator population is. Is this bees and other insects? If so, I have very few bees as I am on the 2nd story of a 3 story building.
I get strong morning and mid-day sun. The sun drops behind the building by around 1 p.m. in the summer and 1:30-2:00 in winter.

You can do just one plant but, it would be best to alternate plants.
Next year, you may wish to have a few planters of some flowers such as bee balm, heather and such. These will attract bees and other pollinators to your balcony. A hanging basket with Fuschia always looks nice and it will also attract bees and other pollinators.
