I personally never get cracking on Cosmonaut and only occasionally green shoulders. But I'm also in Northern California where does not rain in the summer , I use drip irrigation.
Glacier is an early early tomato, like an early girl. It is my first slicer ready but as the season continues to get hotter those original plants will start to produce smaller tomatoes until it cools down again in the fall then they size up again.
I also sell these as seedlings to home gardeners and the locals always come back saying how much they love the flavors and production of the plants.
Hope this helps ;)

It may work nicely for others, though.On Apr 9, 2016, at 12:17 PM, andrea davis-cetina wrote:My favorite standard reds areAndreaQuarter Acre Farm enjoying some rainSonoma, CAAlso interesting.High Mowing catalog says Cosmonaut Volkov is prone to cracking and has green shoulders. Is that true in your experience? -- the Fedco picture you linked to does seem to show green shoulders.Glacier's saladette size, according to descriptions, not full sized slicer; and apparently also has green shoulders.-- What I'll be trialling this year will be Mountain Merit and Ruth's Perfect; but of course I don't know yet whether either of those will work out. I'm dubious about the flavor descriptions of Mountain Merit; but a friend of mine in the area grew it last year and said it wasn't up to the heirlooms but was pretty good. IME tomato flavor depends a whole lot on the specific site, also.-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I thinkFresh-market organic produce, small scale
