Cucumbers and container tomatoes

Let me give some more information and see if that helps.  We have to hand
pollinate our squash here because we apparently have no pollinators
around our place.  We tried letting nature take it's course without hand
pollinating and the fruit shriveled up and died.  So, with that in mind,
should we hand pollinate the cucumbers (assuming they have male and
female blossoms) like we do the squash?

About the tomatoes, they are planted in plastic containers in Sunshine
Potting Soil and fed about once a week or two weeks.  They have no other
added soil, manure, compost, etc  They form bunches of blossoms and then
they drop off or they start forming tomatoes and the tomatoes don't seem
to be growing (and you can tell the ones in the garden plots are
growing).  Now, any suggestions?
