    The plant I taped back together seems to still be holding up quite well. Some more small fruits are still appearing, and I have probably three or four picked and ready to go (once I finish the last of the supermarket ones) and a couple more almost ripe on plants.

    Quite a few of the plum toms have been lost to blossom end rot. I water consistently at the same time each day, more in hot weather. The GD toms haven’t suffered at all, so internet assuming all the rain didn’t sit so well with the Roma ones. 
    I've never grown the very large beefsteak sort in pots before, and I had the same problem. It's sorted now. Not only do they need regular watering, but about twice as much H2O as I'd expect.....and feed, feed, feed.
