Poor pollination, heat could be causing it too. Tomatoes are tough to grow well, have a lot of disease and pests and issues! High nighttime temps, like around 80, are really bad for a lot of things

Im use to a bud here or there not making it, but for all the clusters to fall off is weird, I guess its not weird anymore after 3 straight years of 10 plants and no tomatos.

To much fertilizer, back off on it.. Apply phosphorus but only moderate nitrogen when you set out your plants, and then avoid fertilizing again.. Again, though,, Extremely dry or humid air can interfear...

Nitrogen encourages leaves to grow and phosphorous encourages fruit set. AVOID, Synthetic fertilizers , aka (Miracle gro) USE, (2-6-4) AVOID over-watering!
(Pro Tip)..
Use Blackstrap molasses, in watering, (about one Tablespoon per gallon of water).. SERIOUSLY!.. Calcium and magnesium helps with fruiting..
Watch your plants turn dark green in about a week..

I usually do a simple 10-10-10 about a week or two before planting and tilling. That's it.

Anyone seeing hummers yet? Put the feeders out last weekend, but nothing here yet.

Usually they show up around April 1st, in my past experiences down there

@Tarheel1 here is the thread. Up to 50 bags of mulch from lowes so far I should have just had a truck delivery

Yes! Bulk delivery is the way to go, unless you only need 5-10 bags! A bag doesn’t go as far as you think!!

Did you do that rock work? That looks tedious!!
Job well done though! I’d been throwing rocks 1/4 the way through! ?

Yes, so that’s 100$ already, if my basic math is correct?

I want to kill myself. The rock was a good idea until it wasn't

It’s fun until the Bermuda starts creeping in and you have a lot of extra weed eating to do! ???

Roundup and a half moon edger worked last year we will see this year

Roundup is your friend! I like to kill everything from the edge of the rocks back about 4-5” into the grass! Hit it hard enough and often enough, will be a nice dirt barrier!
