I have tomatos that flower but not produce fruit. Didn’t you advise someone to use Epson salt and something else for this condition?

All our maters in the ground have lost their fruit since the squirrels have developed a taste for green tomatos while we were gone.

Epsom salts is for blossom end rot. I don't know about not producing fruit.

Tomato blossoms will not set fruit if the air temperature is too high. Somewhere around ninety-five degrees.

Yuck. I just looked on one site that said tomato will not fruit if the temperature is above eighty-five degrees.

Hello R/D . . . your tomatoes are not being pollinated, you need to shake the snot out of them. That method always worked for my Father-in-Law . . . Smile!
