Tomato Plants No Tomatos

[crystalcabot]

Hi. I am gardening in a brand new garden this year. The previous soil was hard clay. I used a mini hoe and dug out 3' wide row 4 of them. Then I used horse manure and tilled the soil. The soil has done really well with growing everything I have planted and really lasted through some dry spells with no wilting.
Now, I have 5' to 6' tall tomato plants. Some are heirloom others are hybrids. None have more than 2 or 3 small green tomatos on them. Half of those tomatos have blossem end rot. (I typically place one egg shell under each tomato plant to avoid this but planted so many this year i skipped it) I believe i could add gypsum to handle the calcuim issue.
The tomato plants are a health green. Some are a little lime color others a normal green and others really dark green. No signs of disease...yet.
My first thought is a soil test to figure out if the soil is missing phosperous. SO i need to get a test today. I hate spending that 5 bucks LOL.
Any suggests, to what amendments to make if its missing the phos or potash?
IS it too late? Even if i correct the problem have I lost this growing season?
Its July 19th and averaging 90 degree days....
THanks

When daytime temperatures are in the 90's, and nighttime temperatures are in the 70's, the pollen on the tomato blossoms gets sticky and fails to fall off and pollinate other blossoms. The lack of tomatoes on healthy plants may be due to the unusually hot weather you are experiencing on the east coast.
If the tomato plants look healthy and everything else is growing well, you probably don't need to add anything to the soil at this point. If you want to avoid blossom end rot on your next flush of tomatoes, you could add a water soluble form of calcium now.
Keep your tomatoes watered and be patient. When the weather moderates a bit, you'll most likely get tomatoes!

A gardener down the street from me has tomatos and he experienced the same weather.

Well, so much for the weather theory!

So really i need a soil test before any real solution can be forward. right.

so did you get your soil tested ?

did you start getting more tomatos ?

you could have to much nitrogen from all that horse manure you used and the plants just made greenery in stead of fruit.

just guessing here.

How much did you fertilze these?
Too much fertilizer will cause very tall tomato plants, but no fruit, at least on hybrids.
