I have 2 tomato plants. Dozens of blossoms. No tomatoes. What gives?

Tomatoes are fussy about the temperature at which they will "set" fruit. Yours may not like the nighttime temps, or the days may be too hot.

You can encourage fruit set by gently shaking the blossoms to encourage the transfer of pollen.

Can’t be the temps. I live amidst huge tomato fields. I’ll try the shaking. Thanks!
