I planted Brandywine tomatoes, and the plants are strong and enormous. They have produced many flowers but no fruit. Any suggestions?

Brandywine tomatoes are relatively late to bear, with fruit beginning to ripen about 80 days after seedlings are set out. Be patient; if fruit has not begun to form yet it probably will soon. It's not unusual for the first flowers to fail to set fruit.

While many heirloom tomatoes are late-bearing, there are also earlier fruiting varieties. Check the seed packet or plant label for days to harvest.
