My computer is not letting me answer your question. It is too hot. Look at other posts with the topic of no tomatoes setting and you will see others are having trouble. You need to put your location or zone in your information. People on a gardening forum can better understand the problem if they know where you live. Also you planted 5 Pineapple and a cherry tomato. It is a big gamble to plant all of one kind if you only plant a few. If you bought a six pack you can still trade with people and get more variety. I have made deals with strangers in the store trading three of mine for three of theirs or buying half their six pack. After you get a favorite you can plant all the same kind. Even recommended tomatoes do not grow the same everywhere. This year my early tomatoes are the only ones that are producing. I planted lots of kinds this year and a few are performing in this weather. It was 107 Sunday here not good weather for tomatoes. Next year may be cooler and wetter and different varieties may be the winners.
I linked your reply to the post.

Sorry I wasn't more specific. I am new to this. I live northwest of Denver, CO but still on the east side of the Rockies. The previous owners of my house had a garden but obviously didn't amend the soil. It is pure clay. I added compost and leaves but it will take a number of years before it is reasonably fertile. I was teaching an intensive college course during June so everything got in the ground late as I had no time. Actually, I only put in 2 tomatoe plants as I live alone. My "Sweet Million" is doing fine as usual. I have a volunteer paste tomatoe that has some tomatoes and the single "Pineapple" tomatoe with blossoms but no tomatoes. I didn't realize that extreme heat affected fruit set. I appreciate the information! :)
I misread your post. You said 5 feet not 5 plants. There are some high producing open pollinated tomatoes but some of the big ones are late and only have a few tomatoes. I have good luck with medium sized tomatoes that mature fairly early. The big ones are exciting and impressive, but not good if you only plant one plant. I don't know what grows best in CO but others here do.
