 heat  i would think your greenhouse has got too hot and the air too dry tomatoes dont grow when the temperature gets too high   so id ventilate it and splash water on the floor to make it nice and  humid then the  chances are youll get a better crop hope this helps
johhnyc015  may the plot be with you

My neighbour gave me some tomatoes and hers are covered in fruit and mine are covered in leaves.  I think perhaps I have overfed them.  Next year I am going to try feeding only once the fruit has set.

Thank you for your replies I think that the greenhouse did get very warm during that hot spell that we had I will certainly splash water on the floor and leave the door open and hope for the best perhaps next year I will put some shading at the sunny end of the greenhouse
