AFB XYZ; Tomatoes have a hard time setting fruit at temperatures above 90 degrees F. Humidity the pollen sticks to the on the flowers and prevents them from scattering in the air and may affect the viability of the pollen. Does it get hot in OK? (We know the answer!) There might be other factors:

7 reasons Tomatoes do not set fruit

You could take a small paint brush and try to hand pollinate and see if you can get some fruit. Depending on your season--its late--you might get some of them large enough to ripen, or large enough to bring inside to ripen! Good Luck!

Many thanks Pete! Will give it a try.

Correctamundo! Here in zone 10 everything stopped about 3 weeks in to June except the Everglades. But even they had a tough time setting fruit. They made it until I started new seeds in mid August, but no fruit made it inside the house. Chomp!

The only thing that I planted that made it through the summer was watermelon. They didn't produce all that well however. These were personal melons, not big ole Crimson Sweets. The vines preferred to grow over concrete and rocks rather than mulch for some reason. Both were very hot.
