Slow fruit development.

17 years ago

Hello all! I know this is a popular topic, but I'm sort of curious as to why my tomatoes are growing so slowly.

A few of the flowers on my Big Rainbow plants fell off around two weeks ago, but the ovaries have yet to start growing. They have remained about the size of the tip of my pinky finger.

I'm almost positive that my problem is not blossom drop. This happened to a few earlier blooms, but weather here in Philly has been ideal for tomatoes for the last week or so and my tomatoes are doing much better than they had been. When previous flowers failed to set fruit, the entire flower stem fell off the plant.
