I have 5 tomato plants in pots, last year I did this and got a BUMPER Crop of Tomato LEAVES but no tomatoes. What do I need to do different this year?
Generally, leaves and no produce on plants means you have bountiful nitrogen but not enough of the other nutrients needed for flowering and fruit.
15-30-15 is a good balance for blooms/fruits. Also check your local nursery/store for some fertilizer containing trace nutrients.
Bone Meal, Banana peels, crushed eggshells, and epsom salts can also be used for slow release organic amendments to help tomatoes and melons etc.
I would guess use fertilizer with less nitrogen and more potash and phosphate. And make sure you sucker the tomato plants.
If your summer stayed above 90 degrees, then that’s likely the reason. Tomatoes don’t like the heat so won’t produce. That’s the problem I have every year. Nice beautiful green lush plants but little to no fruit. What varieties are you growing? The only reliable tomato here is Yellow Pear which is way down the list for taste but volunteers all over the place so I’ll take what I can. Even Improved Porters, which were created for the Texas heat, have produced a big fat zero. The other old heirlooms don’t like our summers either. I have 7-8 heirloom varieties this year and there are a few green fruit on a couple but they’ve been well shaded which has helped. Yes, tomatoes need the sun but they need some relief from the heat.
