What else do you want to know? The plants look great otherwise. It's been
hot and humid although there were long days where there was no rain and I
was careful to only water around the roots. Perhaps the lack of physical
stimulation (pollination?) was the problem? I don't know what else to tell
you.

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.
