What would cause my tomato plants not to have any blooms? They are
growing and look green and beautiful, but not a single bloom. It
doesn't look like deer are eating the blooms. Thanks

Possibly too much nitrogen, rain, or cool weather. My guess is the
first based on comments of green and beautiful. My rule is to never add
nitrogen (other than at transplant time) until I see the first blooms.
Dito I don't mulch until I see a bloom.

first make sure your plants are growing
second if the blossoms DO NOT pollinate they will simply drop off which
means that they are not pollinating.

you can pollinate yourself, just dip a small brush into each flower going
from flower to flower
they also sell a blossom set spray (although the plants will be hollow
without much meat)

bytw if it was deer they would eat the entire plant not jus the blossoms!
