tomatos in Grand JunctionCO


Question
Is it too hot?  I started my tomato seeds indoors on March 1st.  They went outside in late April.  The plants have turned to bushes but are blooming sparsley.  Where are the tomatoes?  Is my soil undernourished?  Is it too hot (we've been over 100 since it started getting hot in mid June)?  I've still got two months of warm weather, hopefully when it cools off in late August the plants start to pay their way since I have dumped pinnies and so much labor into their perpetuation.  Now if you want to talk chili peppers, I've got them comming out of my ears.

Answer
Dear Nathan,
If the plants are thriving, then there is probably adequate moisture and fertilizer.  Tomatoes usually thrive in the hot part of the summer.  I think it's a lack of pollinators.  I've heard many reports of bee problems.  Check into some information about artificial pollination.  I'm sure there are simple methods, for the enthusiastic gardener.
Kind Regards,
Kindred
