All leaves, no flowers on tomato plants
I planted tomato plants and hey are growing beautifully. However, all green leaves and no flowers. I used a Gro Box which has fertilizer in it. What do I need to do to produce flowers so I can get tomatoes?

Just wait. Warm nights and longer days should encourage flowers but fertilizers high in nitrogen (that would be the first of the 3 numbers on the fertilizer) will encourage an excess of green foliage over flowers. I would add some slow release Osmocote around the base of the plant to encourage blooms. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
