Few Flowers In Veggie Garden

I tilled goat manure into my garden at the beginning of the season prior to planting. I have observed that the leaves of the plants are vigorous and rapidly growing, but I do not see very many flowers on my tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, or bean plants. My gardening book says that little flowers could be from too high nitrogen. Is there something that I can add to get more flowers?

Add bone meal. This will add phosphorus, which the plants need to produce flowers. These articles will help too:
