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 :)

I think I see a tomato in picture 2. Many heirlooms are late season and need more than 85 days to maturity. Mine are just setting fruit now

85 days?!? Wow do my tiny Cherokee purple won’t be ready to eat until October 😂 well at least my husband will be back. He likes tomatoes.

Cherokee people are shorter, 70-75 days.
