Hi Bean17,

It sounds like your plants didn't do well either. The most common problem when tomatoes refuse to flower is temperature. Look at your growing conditions and choose tomatoes that do well in them. Are your summers really hot? A lot of tomatoes refuse to bloom in temps over about 85.

And don't forget to fertilize. Tomatoes love fertilizer but go easy on the Nitrogen. An excess of nitrogen will produce lush, leafy plants but they won't flower. Tomatoes also require a regular deep water regimen.
