Tomatoes

of leafy green, but no fruit or blooms. Also, try planting basil and garlic
in and among your tomato plants. I am trying to remember what it is that
tomatoes love in the soil... I know that many people use fish emulsion on
them. Also, tomatoes like to be mulched. Ask others in your areas for
varieties that grow well for them. Maybe the type of tomato you are growing
is not good for your area. Also, don't plant them in the same spot each
year. Rotate your crops.
