My 'maters are bursting...and not with goodness!

huntsman · March 9, 2010

We've just gone through an unusually week three weeks followed by normal rains and I noticed this on 20% of my plants:

The tomato would swell and the skin become translucent, but if you gently touched it (and often without a touch) it would burst with what looks like water. It's as if someone has filled them with a pink-tinged water as a joke, but the result is not funny...

All I'm left with is this pitiful collapsed bag of skin.

Anyone have this happen or can tell me more?
