hi Frank, we had this same problem years ago in England and believe it or not it was the bees,''english bumble bees to be presice'' what they were doing was as they landed on the flower to pollinate it they were going to the back of the flower and biting it,so the result was the flowers fell off without being pollinated..It only happened the one year but it was very strange,i solved it by spraying the flowers with a sugar syrup mixture
