A good rain shower can also cause cracking. Also a type of inconsistent watering. Too much water intake causes swelling fruit faster than the skin can keep up.lukeout007 wrote:
I went out to harvest my tomatoes last night and found that most of the ripe ones look like this. I only ended up getting 1 edible tomato. Can someone shed some light on what could be causing this?
+1 on picking at first blush, keeps cracking and critters away,still tastes same after counter top ripening, agree also, hold off on watering to get more concentrated flavor.
