I have no blossom drop, the little tomato ovaries are just sitting there and not growing. It's as if they are waiting for a signal to start swelling. Is this what you see as well?? It happens to me every year! Other types, like Early Girl, start growing immediately after fertilization, no dormancy period whatsoever.
Marianna's Peace and Chapman set fruit much later than the rest of the group, like 4 weeks later.

I had a lot of little green toms that would not grow, not sure if I did something to make them abort.
