They’re getting too much Nitrogen if you have that much growth and foliage.

Use a higher MIDDLE number on the NPK scale for more Potassium for blooming and fruit set.

That said, you always seem to get a good harvest out of that little plot of yours. ;)

Part of that is due to the far-above average rainfall this summer, with more this month than any other this month year (though less than in 2021, in contrast to a drought last year)

The only fertilizer is use is granular 10-10-10. But I recently dissolved some potassium capsules I had left over and added them to a gallon of old vitamins I also had left over, and put some in a 5 gal pail and for plants.

Now for the competition: My Guatemalan brother in Christ plants 4th of July tomatoes (grown from seed) in a cut away in the cement of his parking lot of his apt building in this densely pop. city, and filled it will garden souls from HD, and prunes branches off. Result:

7-29-23-Gabs-Garden

On the other side of the fence in his neighbors yard are plants I grew (with permission) from harvest seed in plain old soil, which I have done little pruning on:

7-29-23-My-Side-B-Gabs-Garden

Meanwhile, back to my home plot, the first ripe toms have shown themselves, praise God:

7-29-23-Back1st-Toms

But what is this mystery flower I planted:

Mystry-Flwrs
