Hi, I grow imagines in the pot and they burst just before getting really ripe, any idea why?

    usually because they've been allowed to get a bit dry , then given a lot of water which makes the fruit swell quickly and split. 

    Try to keep the watering more even.

    Also try watering only in the morning and not in the evening.  Plants do a lot of their growing while it is dark so watering in the evening doesn't help with splitting fruit.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
