[quote=Anonymous]Once tomatoes reach a certain point(starting to show color) they will crack if you water them. The plants pushes water to the fruit and cracks the skin, not b/c of heat and humidity. It has not been too hot here. The plant sets fruit best b/t upper 70's through about 90, but it will still set fruit at high temps, plus it is not 90 all day. What is most likely happening is the plant is happy and growing with all the cool temp and water. This week will give them a little stress and reminder them to get to work and product something. Also, some plants are determinate(all tomatoes ripen with a few days) and other are indeterminate(a few tomatoes each day with more coming). If you have the determinate type, they are slower at setting fruit. [/quote]
