I guess this is what all the Heirloom tomato rave is about! Oh look i'm growing really old strains of special tomatoes that taste wonderful, you just have to throw away half of them and can only eat half of each tomato that makes it to maturity without .......seriously though, i'm losing a lot of tomatoes to these huge gaping splits in the sides on a few varieties and some of the others are cracking open all around where the stem joins the tom. In addition 1 other species is suffering BER. Heck the only plants doing decent At the moment are the Black Cherries. I know this thread is pointless without pics som I'll take some tonight so we can get to the bottom of this.
