Hi,

My potted tomato plants are fine but the tomatoes are splitting down the side. How often should I water and how much? Even with all our rain, I notice that the pots still need water.

thanks! dmooney

The splitting is due to you watering inconsistantly.

If the soil in the pot is dry three to four inches below the surface you need water.  If the leaves a droopy in the morning you need to water the plants. Make sure your pots are not sitting on a patio.  they need to be raised up on pot feet.
