I was told once that I was over feeding my tomato plants with a fertilizer. The plants were tall and lush but no tomato's. Fertilize only after the tomatoes set on.
Do they bloom?
Too much nitrogen (that grows leaves!) You need 0-10-10to promote blooms!
Every year, put them in another area of your garden. They need the nutrients from a new area.......Simple solution! If plant is growin' well and needs her fruit, give her new soil and you WILL receive the fruit of the vine!!

Are you cutting the "suckers" off? My Dad taught us how important that is to prevent a big plant with lots of green and not much fruit. All the plants energy is going into growing the greenery. To remove the suckers, as he called them, you simply break off any new shoots that grow between the main stem and a main branch. You will see them start to grow right in the crook of the joint between the main stem and the branch. Just break them off, so the plant won't get so bushy.
If this is posted in August, it's probably too hot for the plants to set fruit, unless you have heat-tolerant varieties. Are they blooming? If they bloom but don't set, that's likely to be the issue. Also, if you have fed them with a high-nitrogen fertilizer, this will happen. Too much N and all you get is a jungle of green.
Are you planting them in the same place year after year? Tomatos need to be rotated with other produce same as a farmer with his crops. They don't produce after awhile.
I'm also having that issue this year. I think the reason is that I accidentally purchased all indeterminate varieties. They focus on growing tall, rather than producing flowers/fruit. Determinate varieties get bushy, rather than tall, and produce more fruit.
are your plants getting enough sun? My father said that was why mine did not produce tomatoes. too shady in my back yard!
