hi all,
some one might have already asked this... (SORRY)

some of my toms are split near the top..
(looks like they are smiling at me)
its near the stem..
does anyone know what has caused this - or why it is happening?

many thanks ..
from Moo...

I have both. Do I get a prize? :-\

I'm certain it's all the rain we've had this last week. I've got a couple of plants in a more sheltered spot which didn't get drenched, no probs with them.
