Tomatoes not setting fruit

I'm in Columbia SC and planted late (early June) in a new garden plot
w very rich soil. I also added Miracle grow tomatoe fertilizer not
realizing I was probably over fertilizing. I now have a Mortgage
Lifter that is over 6 feet high but few blossoms and a Marion that is
smaller but also barren. A few blossoms but only one tomatoe so
far.
Can I do anything?
Will these plants likely bear fruit once it cools down some (some days
are below 90 but not for long usually).

Depending on the size of the plot, you can build a shade or arbor
over it to reduce the direct heat and sun on the plants. By doing this
you create a cold spot for them. The shade will cool the soil and the
indirect sunlight will help reduce the strian on the plants.
