All blossoms no fruit?

:?: My tomato plants are better boys, they have been in the ground for about 4 or 5 weeks. I water and fertilize regularly. I'm using miracle grow powder mixed according to directions. AND I have the prettiest tomato flower garden in the world. Tons of blossoms none bearing fruit. I have strawberries near them and am getting fruit all the time from them. Any suggestions :?:

Stop fertilizing and wait.

Do you see plenty of insect activity around your plants, to provide pollination? If not, you may want to assist to make sure the flowers are getting pollinated.

The flowers are perfect, so all you need to do is make sure the pollen moves from the stamens to the pistils. A simple way to do that is to gently shake the flowering branches. I do it a couple of times a day. Once a flower is pollinated, it will wither and drop off, but you will see a little fruit forming in its place. :)
