               i think i had one, but i dont think it took, looks all dead and dried up.  what should i have done? Not sure about aiding in pollination, cover? shake?

               try not to fertilize during polination ,i lay off ferts for a week or two to let alot of fruit set usually mid june ,cause by july its too hot!!! have u peeled back the flower and looked to see if theres a mater hideing !!!! i had a few blossoms look dead and dried up touched them and the leaves fell away like dust but had a mater lol ,sometimes its the luck of the draw !!! hope this helps remember most tomatos dont polinate above 85 degrese!!! pizza
