Why are my Tomatoe Plats not producing tomatoes yet?

I started them back in March with seeds and transplanted them. They have grown nice and produced blooms for the last month or so but no tomatoes yet. The blooms just stay on the plant idle. I have two types growing - Rutgers Select and Beef Steak. I water them and it is really hot now but want to know if there is a way to promote tomato growth now. Pruning or what?

This natural plant hormone helps blossoms set fruit in spite of poor weather conditions, and produces larger, meatier tomatoes with fewer seeds. ...

Might be too soon yet...depends upon where you live. I'm not familiar with pruning but some folks swear by it....you can get more info by going on ehow.com about that...I'm not familiar with the types of seeds you have...maybe they produce all at once as some do...good luck!
