I'm a little concerned about my Cherokee Purple tomato plants. I have about 10 of them, and a few are starting to produce fruit. All of the fruits so far are extremely cracked, even at this young age. :-(

We've not had very much excessive heat, and for the past week (during which these fruits were set) we've been very cool, topping out around 70 degrees.

Take a look at some pictures I took of one of the fruits today: http://davesgarden.com/gj/dave/viewentry/4867.html

Notice that the inside looks just fine, but the outside looks just aweful! I'm really disappointed here, because I've heard that the Cherokee Purple was one of the best tasters out there, and native to my region. :-(

Any advice or information?

Thanks,
Dave
