Default Fertilizing rocky soil where it's half soil half stones (and no dirt)

I have some wild tomatoe plants from where I threw some of teh household

joke the bees didn't do their job. The plant already is about 4 feet tall,
but no tomatoes. Sigh.


Tomatos need cool nights to set fruit.


Interesting. Very interesting.
We never get cool nights in the summer.
You can go out naked and wouldn't even shiver.


Define cool. In San Jose, the average summer nighttime
temperature is in the upper 50's. Higher elevations (above
the marine layer) will be warmer at night. Locations further
from the bay get cooler at night (e.g. almaden will be in the
lower 50's) and warmer during the day.
