........and no tomatoes yet. They get plenty of blossoms and then drop them. I know it's not heat related because lower to mid 80's should be fine right?
Could it be bad soil? Watering issues?

The soil is a mix of 30% miracle garden soil, 30% top soil and 30% peat moss. The rest is native soil/sand.
That mix has worked fine for me past 3 years. I water moderately everyday if it doesn't rain hard the previous day. Since I've planted them about a month and a half ago, the weather has been dry one week and then wet for a few days. Repeat that pattern for a few weeks, and then last weekend was a huge washout for us on the east coast of Florida.....and now it's going to get real dry for 4 days.
I'm fearing this time around is too much nitrogen. Anything I can do about that? Looks like my tomato plants are doing what my neighbors tomato plants did..........check my sig.
