It is an "Early Girl" and I purchased it from a very reputable nursery. Can I expect more tomatoes eventually?

Organic tomatoes taste great!
Your problem is probably a lack of pollinators. Do you see any bees or butterflies around the plant?
You can try gently shaking the plant to distribute pollen are even use a small paint brush to transfer pollen from flower to flower.
What are your daytime & night time temps? You may have a variety that doesn't like your areas current temps.
How much sunlight is the plant receiving? My plants have always liked a lot of bright direct sunlight with a light shade during the hottest part of the day.
There is a small possiblity that your soil may have a mineral deficiency.
I would bet that your problem is no pollinators.

You should get more tomato's, if there is an abundance of blossoms on there, pick some of them off, that way the plant won't be using all of it's nutrients to go to all the blossoms, and will have more of a chance in growing tomato's from fewer blossoms. More blossoms will appear anyway, so just pluck a few and see if that doesn't speed things up for you a bit.

Incorrect. Organic tomato plants should yield the same number of tomatoes as hydroponic grown plants. If you are seeing "many" blooms, but only one tomato, increase the "food," or take off the one tomato. Each bloom should turn into a tomato, unless the plant isn't getting enough water/nutrients.

No it isn't the nitrogen even if the "shoots" that look interior the aisle lower than the blossoms. they should be bumped off. those shoots are considered "thieves". They thieve on the price of the plant life. A Tomato plant has 2 techniques to multiply: one million. by skill of seeds interior the outcome 2. by skill of shoots, cloning to that end. The plant is getting heavy and branches are touching the soil. There roots seem and the plant can strengthen more suitable.

All those blossoms will eventually turn into tomatoes. Just be patient. Tomatoes also need lots of sun so that could also be why it's maturing slowly. Consistant watering is important too, but don't overwater, just when its dry.

Organic plants will only produce one fruit per year.
Organic sucks. Buy the real thing next time.
