why is the tomatoe plant on my patio not giving me tomatoes.it has plenty of flowers but no tomatoes?

Answer 1

The flowers are probably not getting pollenated. You need bees or other insects for that. Try moving them out further into the yard, if you have some yard.

Otherwise, try pollenating them yourself. Lookin a flower and find the parts w/ pollen on them. You may have to use tweezers. Pull out the portion that has pollen, and rub it on the pistol, the center that has sticky stuff on the end. You can use one pollen bud for abourt 3-4 flowers.

But I really hope you can get bees in your area. That is a much easier way.

Answer 2

Well, in order for plants to bear fruit, they have to be pollinated. So it could be that the bees, etc., haven't found your tomatoes. Sometimes they get pollinated by the wind. The garden guy on the radio here says you can take a small artist paint brush and move the pollen from one blossom to another with it. Pretty tedious. Good luck. Maybe you just have to give them a little more time. Make sure they are getting plenty of sun, too.

Answer 3

Re pot the plant and put a teaspoon of Epsom salts in the bottom of the pot.
