A tough year for Tomatoes

The tomatoes are finally ripening, unfortunately they are also splitting and showing signs of disease (blossom end rot) which is due to inconsistent water conditions.

Even though the weather has been hard on the plants and fruit, it was still worth it to me, I had a ton of dinners from these, and now getting to the see the rich colors of the heirloom varieties is very rewarding. Is it wrong to be inpatient for next years crop when this years is still on the vine?
