   Hello,
            Thanks for all the responses to my crack problem. These
cracks are at the blossom end about a inch above and below . Yes they
are into the cavity. Do these cracks ever heal themselves. The last
measurement showed a 43lb gain in 24hrs. which puts it at 114inches
around on day 31 (396#). I haven't used any fertilizer for 3 wks. Does
anyone have any tips on how to avoid this problem for next year?

Thanks,    Joe   Logan, Oh
