5 Reasons WHY Your Tomatoes are Not Producing and Dropping Flowers

[@BerryBlessedandCovered]

Thank you for not wasting our time and getting right to the point with great info!

[@jessrouse8475]

I will say I only fertilized before I plant....coffee grounds and banana peels (dried till brown and hard then blender to chop) mix and put in gole before planting tomatoes.. works wondersssss

[@thuggineternal]

Thank you so much for this information. I've watched I don't even know how many tomato videos and learned more in 4 min from this one that I should have clicked on first! I appreciate you and your beautiful fur baby!

[@zupants1]

Short, sweet and to the point! Tons of great tips! Thank you!!

[@dedreali2783]

Loove the doggie. He looks happy and loved. I actually have a tomato plant that is dropping flowers. Being in the Caribbean the sun is sooo hot especially at this time of year. I will try the shade cloth solution. Thank you for sharing

[@RandomRads]

I recently had a hunch that over fertilizing is delaying my flower and fruits. And your video just cemented it. Thanks!

[@abridge4831]

Oh, Lily is sooo beautiful! Thanks Jag! This is one of the best videos I have seen. This solved a lot of the problems in this one video.

[@TheLovePowerGoddess]

I'm so grateful that I haven't had too much of a problem with dropped flowers on my tomatoes, and never have had blossom end rot problems. Thanks Jag!

[@PheOfTheFae]

Thank you for this! I've had this happen a lot trying to grow tomatoes in pots on my balcony.

[@inigo137]

you are excellent at sharing information and your dog is beautiful :D

[@suelindsey1372]

The weather in Fresno county CA has been between 109 to 115 consistently 😮 so I had 4 tomato’s on one plant but each had black spot on them like a burn! But beautiful flavor😂 I have bees, wasps and golden moths all pollinating the flowers so I ty❤ for the info, I placed a white muslin cloth on cage for shader 🤞 next year I’ll try different variety that’s more heat tolerant since I moved from Wa state and wasn’t familiar with this heat! I love your videos/ I used coffee grounds around the soil as well and only fed them 2x in 6 months in clay and potting soil but they are 4 feet tall and green and flowering great!

[@user-bi6eg1lo7v]

Thank you Jag for the flick the flower trick! I will do this for sure. Much appreciation from BC Canada. :)

[@EmblaWanderer]

Thank you! Last three reasons are probably my issue. Also such a cute doggy❤❤

[@Ddeath.Eaterr]

Lately in Texas it’s been in the triple digits everyday this summer. So incredibly hot. My tomatoes do exactly what you say, the flowers come then shrivel up and die the next day. Thank you for the info! Love the dog ❤

[@rachelwashington6383]

Thanks for the video! I did not know a closed flower is a pollinated one!!! I thought the were just dead flowers! Nice!

[@LivingTheDream37]

Good points, I'm in Thailand growing my brown and yellow and black tomatoes, and experiencing the above as in your video, I will move my tomato to a cooler spot to see if it makes a difference

[@shrutigothi2006]

Amazing video dear Thanks a million for sharing 🥰🥰🥰😘

[@stacesprinkle7822]

Thank you so much! I know why I struggle with tomatoes now. Cute puppy!!

[@LovingNorthFlorida]

Finally a video with accurate information! Thanks!!!

[@jvalentine8376]

That was very helpful Jag thanks . Your English is excellent and easy to understand , you must have been born or grew up in the West . With fertilizer I found that with Tomatoes use a nitrogen based fertilizer first one time only then use more phosphate based once the fruit is growing .

[@felishaatkinson188]

What a great video! I appreciate all the excellent information and love your adorable Lilly

[@scottholloway316]

Best video I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you so much.

[@TABULOUS1]

I knew it!! I KNEW it! When guiding ppl on their new gardening journeys, I OFTEN explain these five aspects of tomato plants that are NOT generally found in school, books, sponsored guru-wannabes & internet influencers, nor most other colonized “education”. I usually CLARIFY that I don’t know anything tho, to invite anyone who is sold on the gentrified mass information to continue believing whatever they’ve chosen to believe if they’d rather. ☕️😉 This list confirms several plant traits that I’ve been sharing with MyTribe, (As taught to Me from Goddess/Ancestors via My own personal experiences). You are well-informed and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge over the years. ✊🏽💜

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Thank you for spreading the knowledge as well! Glad you support the information.

[@donnaleveron5711]

I really needed this information, thank you!

[@novelynislostinthetropics3455]

Wow! thank you for all these resource. I was doing everything but the right thing to do. Haha I'm very new so I open google. Now I will just watch your advice. Thanks again :)

[@diniemadsen4778]

Thank you for this information and oh I love your dog

[@kayb.5322]

Love your videos! You seem to always have the perfect videos!

[@lorimarker5764]

Love the videos. Blossom end rot is my nemesis. But still working on it.

[@TheCookie591]

Add Epsom salt and crushed tums around the plant and water

[@mikemillinder964]

fantastic video. explained a lot in a short amount of time.

[@danring1340]

Excellent video, I live in the Philippines, constant 25 to 32° so it's probably the heat. Out of about 20 plants I have one left with flowers and one tomato 🍓 but just starting off. I will tap the flowers as you said to stimulate them. 2 flowers dropped off today. It's in a shady area and in a good size pot so here's hoping a few more fruits will emerge.

[@topquark35]

Hi there. Also in the Philippines and am growing heirloom tomatoes Kratky style in five-gallon buckets. Flowers are also falling off even before wilting. I have a couple of tomatoes formed and all the rest are falling off EVEN THOUGH I FERTILIZED USING AN ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH. argh. Wala kaya talaga tayong pag-asa because of the humidity and heat? BTW tomaties need at least six hours of direct sunlight. Don't put them in the shade

[@lljl5310]

Thank you Jag and Lily! Great video!

[@nevadablog7922]

very interesting information that what exactly what happen to my tomatoes plant the flower dry off and no tomatoes. also i have in pot probably is another reason. Thank you so much for a value information.

[@SC-hj3hr]

Great video. All useful information for a beginner. Thank you.

[@prasannadavid4203]

So helpful!! . Our puppy name is Lilly too, my little girls are so thrilled to see another Indian family naming their doggy as Lilly !. They are so proud that they picked that name☺️

[@vickiesaewert5552]

Fantastic information and Love your sweet dog who loves you so much.

[@vickiesaewert5552]

Sweet Lily! Woof

[@mr.c2763]

Thank you for this video. I was wonder what was going on with my Black Krim plants.

[@sudharshankrishnakumar9321]

Hi Jag, Lots of good info in 4 minutes. Awesome. Also your dog looks cute. Please do a special video where you can run around and play with your dog, that will be fun to watch..:)

[@MauiS58]

Thank you lots of info in short videos. 😊

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad it was helpful!

[@neva-surrender]

Thank you, this helped a lot, I will try tapping flower method & hope for the best

[@ms.anonymousinformer242]

I did not even know this was a thing! But even though I have been getting tomatoes, the flowers were doing this. And yes, it has been over 90F . But at the same time, it has been raining and cloudy more days of the week than sunny,while still being hot. So possibly doubly whammy. And oops! I have been fertilizing too.

[@mathetuduetso8470]

Thank you❤i suspected heat as well

[@privateprivate1914]

Too much rain and over 90 degeees here-no wonder my tomato plants have no flowers! Thank you!

[@MrV3nendetti]

Thank you, I live in Michigan & I know my plants don't receive enough sunlight & I don't have enough pollinators 😐. The plants I have in pots are doing fairly well being able to move then into the sun as the day passes. 🤷

[@paramnathan6326]

Hi Jag Thanks for the usefull info just started a couple of Tomatoes plants in my garden...TQ Param/Mysia

[@spadesworldandcats2090]

Lol Lily! Good Girl! Thanks for this, I was wondering why the flowers were dying...but now I know...the recent heat wave killed them 😒 111 today

[@choppys007]

Thanks for the information, much appreciated 👍

[@ladyela9283]

The flowers on my tomato fall off when I try to polinate them....Also, the leaves toward the bottom keep turning yellow. I'm going to try a baking soda spray (2 Tbs per gallon) to see it that helps. We have heavy rain, again today, so I covered it with a brown leaf bag in order not to ....I have no idea. It should be one of the easier plants to grow. So far, the weather has not been really hot, it's planted in a pot, so when it rains it can run out. Maybe I need to let the soil dry out a little more before I water it. It does have one beautiful little green tomato on it, so that gives me hope. Last year I hand polinated tomatoes with a small, soft make-up brush. I'm open to any and all suggestions.

[@trumpzilla4193]

Excellent info and nice to see your dog ....!

[@GraceJoubarneHypnotherapy]

Where I live in Ottawa, Canada, we get many days of rain non-stop and very light sun -- we see them spray the skies as soon as the sun peeks through. With the rain, we often get high winds. It never use to be like this ... our province was called FoodLand Ontario. Now it's chem land Ontario and endless geoengineering to block the sun and cause excess rain.

[@scruffygardenerau2098]

Jag I love your videos. Well produced and informative. Big thanks from @scruffygardenerAU Australia

[@jackbest6677]

Thank you so much for this information.

[@DB4331]

Man this video was very succinct and helpful. Thanks.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mamathashasthri3355]

Love the way u make things simple. 🤟 thank you

[@yasmintejani7396]

Thanks for this video. Can you show how you have staked them. I can see T posts but I cant see the top. Thanks

[@bobosblock1273]

Thanks Jag. These are useful tips

[@MartyFRsfNE]

do you recommend adding POWDERED MILK to add CALCIUM to the soil? alternatives?

[@shanthisurendran57]

Thanks for your useful tips.

[@Angloas]

Hi, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have one question though, if too much watering is causing flowers to fall off, then how come people who grow tomatoes with hydroponic system are successful growing so many tomatoes?

[@Melanieallen968]

Great advice! Thankyou.

[@anniev7410]

Do you have to prune them Jag ? Thank you ☺️ I love Tomatoes when they are Red 🍒⚛️

[@jeremydehart7466]

Thanks guy!!👍🏼👍🏼

[@daniella_7777_]

Thank you 🙏 I needed it.

[@pattyb9787]

Thank you for such great information.

[@639viablecarrot]

This is excellent and just what I needed 👍. I'm in Bali (Tropical) new to gardening and always thought the strength of the sun to be a problem for all my annuals 🤔. This morning I placed a min/max thermometer where I'm growing my Tom's and already reading 46°C at 9:25. Have as you recommended placed shade material and hopefully this will help 🤔. Any chance you can do another short vid on chilli pepper or bell pepper growing. Thanks again 👍

[@madmanjim795]

I am also in Indonesia - Tangerang to be precise and yes growing tomatoes is challenging. I am passionate about growing chilies though!

[@blueskies6475]

Mine are all doing that. It could be the heat but it's been between 85-95 degrees.

[@mikelemaster3315]

thank you!!

[@tannychoudhury]

Please name some of the name brands slow-release fertilizers for my tomato plants , which are flowering and falling off or drying and not producing tomatoes. I did prune the plant too!

[@aidanho1804]

Great video

[@CBB9584]

I am passionate about tomatoes and have grown in small backyard for two seasons but now it too hot in my country so I am experiencing dropping flowers

[@dsimp765]

Thank you

[@Pixics]

Good tip, I really need to buy myself some shade cloth.

[@melissasullivan1658]

Dude, shade cloth has saved my tomatoes more times than I can count t this summer!

[@Pixics]

@@melissasullivan1658 Man, I'm unprepared for the summer it seems.

[@melissasullivan1658]

It’s all a learning experience. You’ll be super ready next year. :)

[@christinasornbutnark1208]

I live in Huntington Beach it’s been super hot, I may have over fertilized and overwatered🤣

Thx.u guy.. its help

[@mygardenhomestead]

Thanks 👋😊😊

[@GlendaMillan-x5p]

😢 mine have a bunch of flowers and no fruit , I got a green house for the plants I don’t know how to identify if the soil has a lot of nitrogen or what or even if the green house was a bad idea

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Test your soil for nutrients and let the soil dry out in between watering

[@cathyny83]

My tomato plant has flower buds but then the new leaf all is super tiny and middle range leaf is curling and no fruits are produce, may I know what is the cause?

[@rousefire]

My flowers are closing but not growing tomatoes . I have examined a few and they have a tiny pellet sized tomato that has started but will not grow.

[@evelynbayna8824]

Is that air temp? I live in San Diego and the air temp is only in hi 70 since I'm close to the coast. When I measure the ground temp it is 100 degrees.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Yes, this is air temp, ground temp should be lower, are you sure it is 100F? Measure 6 inches deep

[@nalinapatel4881]

My tomatoe plant has leaves which are curling and drying. There is also black patches on the stem. Pls help me as I do not know what I am doing wrong.

[@sujatanensee2372]

Hi I wanted to know that I hand pollinated the flower and then it is closed but the flower looks like dried so what does that mean ? Has it pollinated then?

[@sujatanensee2372]

Plz reply

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

the flower needs to turn into a tomato, if it dried up and/or fell, it is due to the reasons mentioned in the video

[@sujatanensee2372]

It has not fallen

[@connieblasingame7996]

Always informative.....Larry @ Scoot's Organic

[@dbluehorsedeboe5567]

I have a bee hive next to my plants, still flower drop. Not too much fertilizer or water either, plenty of sun.

[@soniapgeorge483]

I like your videos.

[@carpediemjonah8110]

If that flicking of the flower pollinates the tomato plant, will that same pollinating technique work with other nightshade plants? Such as peppers, eggplant, etc? Or any other non shade plants?

[@Techknowverse]

It would probably work with self-pollenating plants. Also, when it is windy, that moves the plants and shakes the flowers. So a slight breeze is good.

[@sujatapadte6141]

Nice doggie,I to have two doggies named ,Ruby and Rani🐕‍🦺

[@trumelaku4473]

Cute dog!!!

[@BlackJesus8463]

[@jendickerson6530]

I used a vibrating toothbrush and I have 1 beef steak tomato, but it's been too hot here so I thinking it's the heat.

[@mohsinaanjum9119]

nice video

[@curiosityky3375]

I used liquid fert on my tomato plants that were planted in new garden soil. I cut it down to 5-5-5 but I think it was still too much because I gave ZERO tomatoes on 20 tomato plants. WHAT DO I DO THOUGH?! I haven’t given them fert for 2+ weeks.

[@rashmiparanjpe29]

Good
