What is causing my flowers to dry up like this?

Blossom drop could be from a number of factors. To little or too much nitrogen. Nutrient deficiency. The flowers may not have been pollinated, so the plant is aborting them. High temps and humidity. Not enough sun. Or the plant is stressed.

The miracle grow bloom booster that has already been mentioned can be used and should help if it’s nutrient deficiency. Sometimes if it’s too humid or rainy the pollen can be bound up and cannot attach to the stigma. High nighttime temps like we’ve been having can play a factor. Once nighttime temps get into the mid 70’s and daytime temps in the 90’s, tomato plants will have a hard time setting fruit (unless it’s a heat tolerant variety).

Feed them a bloom booster fert like already mentioned. Looks like the forecast is calling for a few cooler and dryer nights later this week. Hopefully that’ll help some fruit set. You could also help them with pollination with an electric toothbrush. Google dat.
