If you are watering them regularly, it's funny that they're splitting. You usually get splitting after heavy rain. How long do you run the water for? -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "...children should continue to be breastfed... for up to two years of age or beyond." -- Innocenti Declaration, Florence, 1 August 1990 |

They are heavily mulched with sugar can mulch. Usually run the water for about 15 minutes. ================================================== =========================== Scott and Tess Brady |

Out of all the tomatoes I grew, only the Tigerellas split (not all of them, about 20%). Perhaps it's in their nature to do so. Normally splitting is caused by not enough water, followed by a good soaking, but I kept my garden moist throughout the growing season.

G'day Tom,
The weird thing is that I have grown them before with no problems. It is only since we moved to Northern Queensland that I have seen this happening. Ah! Well! I might try another variety next season. Thanks anyway. Scott Brady Tom Elliott wrote: On Tue, 25 Mar 2003 08:38:53 +1000, Scott Brady wrote: G'day all, I have a penchant for growing old varieties of Tomatos.
