Hoping to have at least one fruit each. I grew them from seeds, so I am very excited.

    Not to be a downer here, but last year I had plenty of super large tomatoes plants - super healthy too! I got I think 2-3 flowers and 0 fruits. But the odds are in your favor when your plants are that healthy :)

      I’ve heard that happens when there’s excess nitrogen. Nitrogen helps the green growth of plants, so I feel comfortable being more generous to herbs like basil and parsley.

      If I’m guessing, you should water more to dilute the fertilizer you’ve already put in and/or not use too much nitrogen in the future.

      Here’s the first casual link I saw talking about it: https://blog.drjimz.com/effects-high-nitrogen-tomato-plants/

      Sorry, if I’m assuming too much and this doesn’t apply to you.
