I would call that a watering issue, specifically heavy rain after a dry
period, causing them to swell and burst the skins, as happens with a lot of
crops. The white grubs are a separate issue.

Has anyone actually watered their garden this year apart from pots and
containers? I found that brassica seedling sown outside have rotted off,
so had to sow in pots indoors to get them going. Today the weather was
forecast winds decreasing and dry, will someone please tell the weather
regulator? It is windy with frequent showers here in North Staffordshire.
Indeed but have you noticed how confidently they predict what is going to happen to the weather due to global warming? Muppets.
