Default Nice plant... No tomatoes...

I grew a few Mushroom Basket tomatoes this year as they did so well for me last year, but I gave most of the plants away, I kept one. Last year the plants were loaded early with very large up to 3# tomatoes so I saved seeds and planted them this year. They produced huge bushy plants with NO tomatoes... I got one small one from the plant I had, the others I gave away have produced zero. What would cause this? We've had different cooler weather this year. These tomatoes are growing in 4 different gardens doing the same thing, so it's probably not the soil... I'm stumped!

Did you get flowers on the plant? I had a plant last year that was big and healthy with zero flowers for the whole season. I don't know what causes this.

Not many flowers, it was too busy growing smaller leaves, the plant got really bushy.

It could have been the weather,there are other possibilities, but I wonder if one if one or more seeds had undergone a mutation that led to what are called mule plants by most, and yes,I've seen that and mentioned it in the following link from here at Tville.
