* Temperature Too High or Too Low
* Lack of Pollination
* Nitrogen - Too Much or Too Little
* Humidity Too High or Low Humidity.
* Lack of water
* Stress from insect damage or disease
* Too Heavy Fruit Set
I am pretty sure that it is the abnormally cool and humid weather we have had for the month of June. And of course, that is out of my control. Warmer weather is forecast for later this week, and hopefully, the fruit will start to set. It is very frustrating sometimes to garden so close to the water.
