Tomatoes prefer a nice steady supply of water. Over the first part of the summer this was easy to achieve because we had hardly any rain, so I could control the rate of watering. However over the last three weeks or so we've had a number of heavy downpours which has disrupted the watering regime. As a consequence, many of the tomatoes have split.
