Tomato plants

I read your articles on container tomato plants. However I do not see any info regarding lots of blooms and very little fruit. is there something I need to do to get my plants producing fruit

Yes. Try shaking the plants a little or using a tiny paint brush to move pollen from one bloom to another. This will help with pollination as the cool weather means there is less activity by bees that should be doing the job.  Adding flowers to your veggie planting will also bring in the pollinating insects...as will just waiting for mid July when we have warmer days.
