Default Tomato problem


"Len Case" wrote ...
Hi to all for the first time. Hope someone will help me please.
I have grown some nice looking tomatoes and they look ripe but when I cut
into them the core is hard and not ripe and just under the skin
it is green for 1/4 of an inch.
I have feed them 2 or three times a week with tomrite so does that be the
cause and what does feeding them more than the bottle do?.
Some of them have also a cracked rough feel and appearance, do you know
what that is please.


Your first problem can be lack of potassium but that is unlikely with your
fertilizer use but your last comment would suggest uneven watering and/or
too high temperatures which can be the cause of both problems.
