digdirt2Updated Could you post a picture of some of the tomatoes please? It would help a great deal. From your description it could be several different things and we could only guess at the cause. Are there any signs of pests? Stinkbugs? Fruitwo...

capoman(5a)Updated Yes, I am willing to bet it's weather issues. If it was nutrient issues, you'd know it, and would be talking about the condition of the leaves, not fruit set issues. Plants will grow a lot of foliage if they don't have fruit set, ...

helenh(z6 SW MO)Updated 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 fair...
