I have about 20 tomato plants (planted outdoors in April) which are huge -
large plants, lots of leaf, very thick stems. They have flowers, but so far
have not set fruit.

I suspect the poor weather. I suspect, maybe excess nitrogen in the soil
(they are growing in new raised beds with a layer of manure, with
(Levington) compost on top).

Should I be worried? Or should I relax and wait for another month?

Should I put tomato fertilizer on them, or would it be better to let the
existing minerals leach out a bit to put them under some stress?

Any helpful comments gratefully received.
