| I am finding tough skins on most of my 12 varieties so I am thinking it might have to do with weather since these are all the first ripe tomatoes I am getting from all the plants. I hope it is temporary because it really takes away from the fresh tomato experience. When I make sauce to can, I pulverize the whole tomato - seeds/skins and all so for that it won't matter. For fresh eating and making salsa to can however, the skins will have to be removed which is a hassle. |

| I find a long, dry, heat wave can cause it. I noticed it last year with out drought and this year when we had a week or two that were pretty steamy. Last year, once the temps dropped, the new tomatoes didnt have the tough skins. So, I do think as weather improves, you will notice a difference. |
