I have quite a few plants in. They are growing good but just not producing.
I had a few just starting to ripen and they split! after that the bugs got
into them and that was that. I picked a few just turning and set them in the
house, in a window...and they turned rotten!...and/or split. I dont know
why. I have quite a few setting and growing bigger but geeeeeze...I thought
I would have them out the "Kazoo" by this time but it just aint happnin'.

Well, don't know why it's such a problem for you. My problem is too many
tomatoes. I'm in zone 9 (Texas) . As every year, I stupidly plant too
many plants (9) and I've been harvesting big fat tomatoes for 2 weeks and
soon will have to start canning, selling or giving away. My plants are
almost 5 feet tall. Feed the soil, don't feed the plants. Compost,
compost, compost! Do you add epsom salts when you plant? It helps. The
manure is also a good idea. I can send pics if you want to prove it. ;-)

...is alot like bass fishing! It's a pain in the butt. They are
finicky...it takes major effort, patience and expense.

The only reason I keep at is hoping to get lucky!
