So, my neighbor brought me plants from the (organic) farm where she works.  She brought tomato plants for two of us, and she planted some, in the exact same sort of pots I used.  We are all using organic soil;  loads of compost.  I had problems with my plants lagging behind in production, and even in blooming, though my plants grew four times the size of all the others.  I thought it was problem with lack of sun (one plant putting out fruit, every day for months, now, is very close to mine.)  I cut away tree limbs.  I gave it more water;  a lot more water (which I filter, each and every drop of.)  These plants are growing up on trellises, and were up to the ceiling (of the porch), til they bent over.  FIne, but then we had a storm and the plants were topped (I had to cut them after the were bent and broken.)  I did see two tiny tomato-starts in those blooms (probably some I handpollinated.)
Now, as the blossoms fall off, when they fall off, there is nothing behind them, so I got out the paintbrush, again.  (I also tried rubbing broken blossoms onto new blooms.)
Still, I got nothing.  The plants are still growing and still look very healthy.  They just don't make tomatoes!  ANYONE know what's up?
My uploads are generally comprised of video I have shot, in Austin;  Rosedale Neighborhood, Hyde Park, and particularly, on Shoal Creek, and downtown, for the musicians.., and this was shot outside my front door.
It is wild in Austin;  really wild, I tell you!
