     are you always watering from the bottom and never   
   getting the top of the plant?   
      
     is it protected from the wind and the rain?   
      
     are you not seeing any bees or other pollinators   
   on the plant?   
      
     if all of these are about the conditions you may   
   help the plant out by going out and shaking it or   
   dinging the flowers with your finger.   
      
     while it may encourage disease problems it can   
   also help to spray the tomato plant with the hose.   
   best done in the morning while it is still cool   
   enough and then let it dry off.
