Q&A – How do I keep the flowers from dropping off my tomatoes?

Question:
How do I keep the flowers from dropping off my tomatoes?
​​
Answer:

The dryness and heat of summer has a lot to do with this. Alainia Hagerty from tomatobaby.com says the flowers are probably dropping because they did not get pollinated. She suggests making sure you water enough and regularly. If worst comes to worst, wait for cooler weather.
