Default growing tomatoes....lots of blooms and no fruit?

I'm trying beefsteak tomatoes this year. ( Haven't had a lot of luck growing tomatoes in the past years) My plants are now about 3 feet tall, i pinch out the suckers, have removed the leaves below the first set of blooms...basically doing everything i am suppose to do!! However, i have alot of blooms but no fruit...some blooms are about 3 weeks old. What am i missing? Or is this normal for beefsteak tomatoes? How long before blooms turn into fruit? And yes..they do get over 6 hours of sunlight!!!

as long as there are blooms I would not handle the plant very much make sure they get watered late in the evening at least twice a week the more you do to the plants the slower they will produce. I had blooms for about a week and now mine are taking off. as long as the plants are bushing out they should be okay but if they are really tall and not much bushing, you should pinch the top off the plant this will make it start bushing out. wish you luck
