At this stage I haven't spoke to a single person who isn't having tomato problems or issues. As a rule I would have in excess of toms by this time, sadly the excess has not materialised. Instead I have around 30 plants that are not very happy .. but stressed. They are sprouting extra shoots, deformed and a lot are very small.
The extreme temperatures have caused the problems .. when both my doors are open in my polytunnel normaly I could keeep the temperature down to about 80f in the summer .. as you know what we have had for the past 8 or more weeks .. I have been getting temperatures in excess of 120f. This is far too hot and even though the plants get watered regularly, they are going into survival mode and to stop themselves splitting, they are putting on an extra thick skin to survive. Our tomatoes are not meant to grow in these extreme temperatures, with the benefit of hindsight we should have been using Spanish seeds for our plants.
Funnily enough I have a couple of tubs sat on the drainer with around 300 toms in them. My problem is the skins like yours are like leather. They taste superb but you have to peel them as you couldn't chew them !
They will get peeled and put in the freezer. Luckily enough I have a few of my favourite tomatos by far, sweet apperetif .. they are perfect and taste amazing.
As I said earlier, I am growing in a polytunnel as on our allotment you are guaranteed blight if you grow outside.
I'm sure you are aware to peel a tom just boil a saucepan and drop the toms in a few at a time for 20-30 seconds or so.. split the skins with a knife and as they are so thick, they will just about drop off in one piece.
