Keeps it strong, keeps the natural color on longer too. Coconut oil is really good for hair too. Keeps it strong, keeps the natural color on longer too.

Cherry tomatoes were especially prone to splitting but my big tomatoes weren't immune to it either. As another commenter pointed out, regular watering would be helpful if you can do that (we worked & didn't always have enough garden time, so we had a lot of split tomatoes!) You can still eat the split tomatoes but you have to get them before the mold or bugs do, so I used to check the garden after heavy rains. If I had a lot of split tomatoes, I'd just make a big salad - cut-up tomatoes, fresh chopped basil, a little good olive oil, red wine vinegar and a touch of salt and fresh-ground pepper if you like it - and you're good to go! Leftover fresh tomato salad keeps in the fridge for a couple days, but good luck having any leftovers! (the tomato you pictured we totally would have eaten lol!)

You can pick up some good tips on the web. They should be watered evenly on a regular basis. I have three types going this year after a lapse of a few years. We'll see how they do.

I am half way through my jar of Biona Raw Coconut Oil. It might be a local UK brand, but you may find it. It's pretty good. It's the first one I've been able to use to eat and to moisturize with, without it being too heavy or clogging on my skin. I'll try Navitas next time and drop you a line! I will do!

Maybe if you try it you can tell me! :) And what is the brand you typically use? Hey Emily – I wish I could say but I’ve never tried other brands.

I am tempted to try it, but it's a little more expensive than my usual brand... I have loved Navitas chia seeds and mesquite though, so am highly, highly tempted to use the rest of their range.
