Tomatoes and rain

All this rain is so good for our lawns and trees. But we've had the most rainfall here in the Chicago area, ever. One thing that this rain does do, and that it really kind of makes the tomatoes explode. Well, at least crack a lot. I had to pull off many tomatoes before they were as ripe as I like, because they had all split! It's just like blowing up a balloon with too much air - pop!
