In my limited experience if mature fruits are left on the plant a little too long, fruits forming further up the stem will be inhibited and turn yellow and wither away. As soon as a fruit is near ready to crop remove it promptly. Good luck.
We come from the earth, we return to the earth, and in between we garden.

As this is not the greenhouse thread, I assume they are outside ones that need pollinating; that could be an issue.

If they are in the ground then daily watering is probably too much and may also be a factor.

They shouldn't need more feeding, although many people advocate feeding them a weaker solution more often (e.g. half the recommended dose twice as often).
