Many summer residents are upset if they pick fruits with thick skin.

A beginner might be surprised by this. But in fact, such vegetables are not suitable for pickling or for making salads.

Therefore, gardeners are often interested in the question of how to avoid such a problem.

As experienced owners note, the problem is usually in the tomato variety itself. Therefore, when choosing seeds, it is better to carefully read the characteristics of a particular variety.

In addition, if the outside temperature is above 27 degrees for a long time, vegetables can grow a thick skin to protect themselves from burns.

A similar situation occurs in cases where the gardener forgets to moisten the beds or does so on a hot afternoon, when the sun is especially active.

Therefore, it is also advisable to approach the condition of the soil responsibly in order to ultimately reap an excellent harvest.
