Be sure you are not over feeding them with nitrogen fertilizer.

I use Dr earth tomato herb fertilizer and ive used it once when I first put them in the ground cant imagine that is the problem. I didn't use much of it maybe a few sprinkles of it out of my hand.

Have they at least been flowering, or have they not even gotten that far? If they're flowering but the fruit isn't setting, my next question would be where are you located and what's the weather been like? Too cold, and they don't set - probably happens if it gets too warm, though I've not experienced that problem to know for sure.
