Default 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).

As an addition the my last post. Youi can also creat the same
effect by planting the tomatoes between a double row of corn on either
side. The corn also works great for other cool weather crops like
peas, beans, lettuce ect.
