happens every year, rain and cracking

[rxkeith]

the split resistant tomatoes that are faring well for me are alston everlasting, a red cherry. this one is a champ. galinas, black cherry, redfield cherry are all cracking.
pointy types fare better. maglia rosa shows no signs of cracks. my anna russian small plum type with a point is holding up very well. my wife and i both like the two last ones, so double bonus.
i should have plenty of alston everlasting seeds if anyone needs some.

I was thinking of doing something like this if the heavy rains get scheduled. That and I'm going to use root pouch grow bags which should at least drain well.

My plants in the 2 hole cement blocks stacked 3 high did good.

Sorry for my reply, lol. If I am a little frustrated at seeing the same complaint he must be even more frustrated at having the same problem, lol.
