but this year we decided to grow beef tomatoes but we have noticed that they appear to have gone mutant

Can you please add photos of your tomato plants. With regard to the hard skinned cucumbers, if you're growing outdoor cucumbers, they do have thicker, usually ridged skins. Thickness of skin also varies with individual varieties of cucumber, but greenhouse types have thinner skins.
