Split stem courgettes
Often when I grow courgettes (in containers), and sometimes with pumpkins, the plants split their stems just when they seem to be developing well. Is it a watering issue? I try to water consistently and reasonably. It doesn't seem to be a fatal affliction for the plant but surely its performance is handicapped by this to some extent?
