one tomato plant not producing
"Gus" wrote in message ...
I have 8 plants and 7 all have had a decent number of tomatoes, but one
plant has not had any. It is the plant that has grown the best and
biggest and looks the healthiest. It's actually huge-- over 6 feet
tall, and filled out well. Has had lots of flowers, but not one tomato.
It's in the same spot as I had one last year that produced many
tomatoes. I'm confused why this one plant is not growing any tomatoes,
and it is the biggest and healthiest of the lot.

This may sound strange, but I wonder if the blossoms on that plant are not
being pollinated? I grew tomato plants inside my house one winter, and they
produced. However, I had to pollinate them myself. I used a tiny paint
brush and *very gently* touched it to one blossom, then another, etc. I
don't have any idea why bees would miss one plant, but you could try what I
did as an experiment.
