One of the more frustrating things about growing tomatoes is watching a tomato ripen on the vine, slowly growing and changing from green, to pink, to red.... and then looking one morning and seeing that that tomato you've been waiting for has split. Provide your plants with a good two to three inch layer of organic mulch such as straw, pine needles, or shredded bark. 2  This will maintain more regular soil moisture levels, and you'll deal with less splitting. 3  Look for Resistant Varieties. 4  In general, the thicker the skin, the less prone a tomato is to splitting.
The average cost of window installation is $125 per opening for a standard sized casement, double hung or slider. The biggest factor that determines price is the overall condition of your sills and jambs. See prices and descriptions for the different install methods.
Single pane windows such as casement windows and picture windows, on the other hand, are known to be more affordable. Most home owners end up going with a combination of different window types, and the average cost per window typically works out to be somewhere between $180 and $500 each. Since windows are generally priced individually, the number of windows a home owner is looking to have installed can also affect the overall price.
