Any other home gardners have no blooms or extremely few? Also have you Googled problem ?

I'm in Nv. Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona many other areas reporting the same, no blooms, morning glories all vines, squash one or two gourds but flowers, cosmos, blk. eyed Susans maybe one flower!Whats happening?Any other home gardners have no blooms or extremely few? Also have you Googled problem ?
We've been in drought where I am for 3 years and even the tomatoes are reluctant to flower. The heat has a big effect even when you are watering and it has reduced the amount of bees as well.





it has now started raining again and all the fruit trees are loaded and the flowering trees are the best in years. has it been unseasonably dry and hot where you are? This would be my guess. Any other home gardners have no blooms or extremely few? Also have you Googled problem ?
There are any number of possible explanations: lack of bees for pollination, insufficient moisture for pollination; plants over-watered or over-fertilized and hence not setting flowers; plants in poor soil or insufficient sunlight. I am certainly not having this problem in SE Pennsylvania
I am in Saskatchewan, Canada and we have four cherry trees that this year yielded a grand total of 42 cherries.


Last year the trees were so heavily laden that branches were breaking off. The experts here have attributed it to a late Spring frost.
