Tall, Leggy Tomatoes with Split Fruit: Water Management Issue

5-ft plants with wide leaf spacing + splitting = water fluctuation (rain), not nutrient lack.

Fall Soil Fix

Till in chicken manure or compost.
Mulch beds for winter.
Next year: consistent watering, mulch from day one.

Leggy growth = low light or excess nitrogen early on.
