Default Tomatoes cracking???


"Lucy" wrote in message

Hi everyone,
This year, our tomatoes all have had cracks in them, some little, some
bigger. Happens as soon as they start to ripen. We're doing something

wrong,
just no clue what..
any advice/help greatly appreciated,


Pinching suckers can cause the root / stem system to become out-of-balance,
such that the plant's uptake of water is more than the fruit loading can
bear, which can result in cracking.
