One of my favorite Chinese types is Huang Se Chieh, which is a pale yellow, almost white, medium sized tomato. Last year I put a plant in the high tunnel, and I don't think I ate a single fruit because they all cracked so badly.

Sorry for late reply. Missed this post.

Glad to hear of other's experiences to mitigate my own growing issues..Im sure to make enough mistakes as it is. lol

I have been avoiding any varieties listed for greenhouses as I suspect this environment is very different than field growing---just guessing as why else specifically mention in the seed catalogs that bit of data.
