They may not be getting enough water and/or phosphorus. High nitrogen
produces good foliage, but too much can prevent flowering, too.

They have had plenty of rain on them and I did water them some.

I doubt it is too much nitrogen as I put out some fertilizer and tilled
it up after. All the plants are in an area of roughly 20 by 20 feet.
So they should have about the same amount of chemicals in the soil as
the other tomatoes that are producing fruit like I think they should for
this time of year and when I set them out.

I used the 10/10/10 fertilizer. Not sure if I did or did not put any
lime out. This is a new garden spot from the years past. Where I had
been trying to grow tomatoes had became too shaded due to trees growing
higher after 10 years.

I'd probably give them a boost of phosphorus and cut down the nitrogen.
See what happens. We've grown tomatoes for years. Some just need a
little more tlc.
