   Hi All,   
      
   Cherry tomatoes are getting too hard for me to harvest   
   with my old back.   So I bought one of those 18" tall   
   full tomato plant.  It came with four green fruit.  All   
   four eventually ripened.   
      
   The plant itself is turning into a jungle.  It has double   
   or more in height and has lots of flowers on it.   
      
   Problem.  The flower and not turning into fruit.  They   
   just stay flowers.  Tomatoes are suppose to be self   
   pollinating.   
      
   Now what am I doing wrong?
