planted them too tightly



I like mine tight and clumped instead of rowed. My theory is they support each other and shade out under growth weeds.

This was from a week or two ago, now there are probably 300 pea to mandarin orange sized green tomatoes in there now.

Between 10 and 2 when it's less humid you can also lightly shake your plants to help with pollination

I mulch with grass clippings.

I would worry about not being able to see tomatoes. I even use scissors to prune mine somewhat so the wind won't push so hard. I only cut laterals and not fruit-producing growth.
