One of my better boy and one of my cherry tomatoes must be sterile. They each had like 2 flowers and no more. The other cherries are full of flowers.
This piqued my curiosity, so I did some google searching. I didn't really find anything definitive, but most gardening forums and articles seem to think too much nitrogen is the culprit. One person suggested regular pruning will help them flower. Too much greenery isn't necessarily a good thing on tomato plants. I prune mine regularly because too much foliage promotes fungal disease.
I don't know if this is the case with yours.

Me and my 4 year old planted 2 tomatoes in pots, 1 cherry and 1 grape. One of the pots I used previously held a 2 year old Thai dragon pepper (I think?) until it froze this winter. Didn't really think a thing of it, pulled out the old pepper, turned over the soil, planted tomato.
I saved some of the old peppers this winter and I recently put some of the pepper seeds in a different small pot to sprout. They are coming up good, then this weekend noticed many of same looking sprouts (leaves) coming up in the pot with my tomato.
Makes sense, pepper was in there before and lots of peppers fell off in the soil.
Sorry this is lengthy, but all that leading to my question.... If these are a bunch of pepper plants coming up from residual seeds in that pot, can I expect spicier than usual cherry tomatoes?
Also, if any of you want a Thai Dragon Pepper plant, I'm pretty sure I have a ton
These things are bullets, high yield, make me sweat when eating and are as hot as any pepper I would want to eat with food.

Only if it contacts the ground. Good foliage is needed for shade to prevent sun scorch.
