I grow these outdoors in well composted soil and a black plastic mulch.
The fruits ripen and are absolutely delicious. 12 hours later, they
split :-(

As I can't harvest more than once a day, can anyone suggest:

- What I can do to stop this problem?
- An alternative variety that tastes as good but doesn't split.

Thanks!

With secateurs, cut them off the truss witha bit of stalk rather than
pulling/twisting the tomato off. Then pull the little bit of stalk off when
you want to use them.
