My tomato plants look terrific this year, but many flowers are falling

Lowes carrys a product called "Blossom setter", formulated just for this

Flowers not setting is a symptom of a problem. How do you know that "Blossom
setter" is the right solution to the underlying problem? It may be a
solution to *a* problem that has a symptom of flowers falling off, but the
problem DD is having might not be that problem.

More information is needed before a diagnosis can be done, and an accurate
diagnosis is needed before one can declare a particular product to be the
solution to the problem. It doesn't make sense to start spraying some random
chemical on plants growing what will eventually be food.
