hello I have some monster tomato plants in a raised bed, they are vary big pants, about 4 feet high and vary thick. I do not see vary many flowers-tomatoes growing.
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to the plant to increase the tomatoes and not focusing at the plant but the tomatoes

It sounds like you may have too much nitrogen in your soil or fertilizer. Tomatoes need more phosphorus, the second number of the 3 on the label. They will probably still set some fruit but if you are fertilizing with a high nitrogen fertilizer you should stop. It would probably be a good idea to consider having your soil tested next year.
Thank you,
i do not use fertilizer but I did bring in some black dirt and got some conpost from a local conpost sight, and the soils from the ground and rototilled them together . How would I go on getting the soil checked??

Verse of the Day
Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
