The tomatoes are putting out lots of blossoms, and there are bees
buzzing around. However, only one plant has any fruit set, and
that's the older one, which has two moderate sized one (2-3 inch)
that I think were set before I even got the plant. Nothing else on
it or the others.

There could be two things wrong:

1. They may not be getting pollinated. Tomatoes are self-pollinating
and like a bit of wind to loosen the pollen inside the flowers.
Gently shake the tomato cages every day.

We've had some decent winds here and there, but I can do that.

2. It might be too hot. Tomatoes don't like to set fruit if it is
over 95 degrees F. Try misting them every day with the hose. I do
this in my over-100 climate, and have had wonderful fruit set.

The hot spell's over, and we're in the 80s for highs of late, so
perhaps if that's the trouble they'll get going. I'll keep that in mind
for the next batch of heat.




Or you may have over-fertilized with a nitrogen fertilizer
which gives you lots of healthy leaves, but little fruit.
