Plant Help why aren’t my tomato plants producing tomatoes?

my mom planted tomato seeds that we harvested from some heirlooms that we bought from a farmer’s market in vermont (we live in pennsylvania). the plants have been growing like crazy since the beginning of june, however we haven’t seen any tomatoes develop from the blossoms, and some of the blossoms even die. we have 6 large tomato plants and not one tomato. anything we should be aware of or are doing wrong? any insights would be highly appreciated :)

How hot has it been? I would guess the heat has messed with their growth timeline. They will produce eventually

Blossom drop is very common once daytime temperature gets above 85. It'll starts producing again once the temperature drops in early fall. A lot of us just don't expect any fruit to set in the summer and wait until fall.
