Flowers Falling Off My Tomatoes

Q: My tomatoes look very healthy but the flowers fall off.
A: Hot weather always causes tomato pollination problems, particularly with varieties that have large fruit. Visit your plants once or twice a day and lightly thump the flower clusters with your finger. This will shake pollen loose and you’ll get better pollination.
