I am a little cofused by Suze and Michaels posts. Suze, you think wet conditions causes mealieness, and Michael thinks dry conditions cause it? Well, are both of you correct, or am I missunderstanding things? If anything my tomatoes are under watered this year, but not to the point of wilting leaves. I don't fertilize more than once at first blossum/fuitset. One other point I would like to mention is that I think taste and texture are two entirely different things. As I mentioned I have had very flavorful tomatoes with a mealy texture, which makes them unpalateable. Cheers.
