Try some smaller tomatoes also.

This. The cherry and grape tomato varieties I plant every year produce pretty heavily and longer in the season. I've almost given up on the beefsteak, creole type tomatoes between pests and soil born bacterial and fungal issues. I've rotated planting them in every square inch of my garden with little success the past 4-5 years. It will especially be bad this year with pests since we have had such a mild winter.

Plus, if out of town and I get frequent rains when ripening, they split open.
