HELP pleeeeeaaaase. My first little tomatoes have split.

[Piglet6]

My gorgeous little baby tomatoes that are turning orangey have split all the way round near the top . 2 have turned orangey-red so far and BOTH have split. Please please please help. Can you tell I feel protective over them?

Why are they splitting?

Hi Piglet, tomatoes tend to crack when they receive irregular water. If your tomatoes have gone through a dry spell and you try to make up for it with frequent waterings, the inside of the tomato will plump up faster than the outside can stretch and grow. As a result the outer skin of the tomato splits open or cracks. Any tomatoes that crack are still edible. They just won't keep as long. You can prevent future tomatoes cracking by making sure that they receive water regularly, whether or not it rains. Mulching the area around the tomatoes will also help maintain ground moisture levels. Next year look for varieties that are resistant to cracking. Perlino, sungold and golden cherry are three modern varieties that are resistent to splitting and many heritage toms I find don't split, especially those of irregular shape like the italian variety Costoluto Fiorentino.
