Problems with colour, flavour and texture in tomatoes are more often a
result of management rather than species.

A mealy texture in
any variety suggests over watering or over feeding.

As noted elsewhere - Garden Pearl (oops!)

They are well watered and fed - over watering seems to be happening as I
type :-)

However a couple of pots have been seriously underfed (pale green to
yellow/green foliage) and still produce the same results.

The results are the same for plants on their own in various sizes and styles
of pots, and those in with cucumbers and gherkins.
