These are beef steak tomatoes. The fruit is still very green and hard not even close to being ripe

I was also told that the splitting is from lack of water...to soon to tell. The gardening book I have now says It could be fungus, bugs,blight, contaminated soil, to much water, sunburn...etc OMG next year I think I will choose a less complicated/ time consuming hobby, like Rocket Science

splitting is from either inadequate watering or a trace mineral deficiency, either problem is too late to correct to save your toms. Take off any of the bigger green ones u have now, that haven't split, and cross your fingers that they'll ripen on your counter b4 they rot. Next year water daily and use trace minerals. A good source for info and trace minerals is the foodforeveryone.org site, Dr. Mittleider, the founder specialized in toms. This problem is NEVER from overwatering! I've had this problem b4 myself. Use the Mittleider Method and u will NEVER go wrong!

this happens from uneven watering. like if there's 3 days of lots of rain then no rain for a week. i dont know how often u water them yourself but try to keep it at equal amounts daily.

You are overwatering them. water less - a lot less.
