I've read that early August is when you want to start pinching off any
new blossoms on tomatoes, so that the plants will concentrate all
their energy on finishing up the fruits they've already set, not that
I ever manage to do that in any comprehensive way. I'll be interested
to read others' answers on this, but I would think that an application
of a balanced fertilizer now would help the plants in that push to
ripening.
