As was posted just yesterday under "No tomatoes", google for "Blossom
drop", and find out what conditions are causing the problem in your
area.

Your tomatoes may need calcium. Ground limestone or crushed eggshells may help. I had the same problem 2 years ago but then so did everyone else in the area and I think it was just a very bad tomato year.
I am now using compost around my plants and my compost has lots of egg shells in it.

With the eggshell thing, do I just put it in the soil?

You can crush them up real good and stir them up in the soil some.
I make shure now that I have a lot of eggshells in my compost pile and plant my tomatoes with the compost.
