No other than wilting it's fine. It really seems to be the sun that's
causing the wilting, since since the sun shade's been over it today
it's recovered. Strange that just the one plant of the three in the
container should wilt. It's meant to be hot the next few days (32C) so
I'll observe for wilting. I thought tomatoes can withstand full sun. Or
do they do better with it filtered? Maybe they have to get hardened to
the sun.
Being such small plants I'm sure it's not a watering problem. I'm
suspecting this blossom rot virus since I've had it before. Didn't
think it started as soon after planting out as that though. Only other
thing could be that something's eating the roots, though as I say it
was fresh compost.


Hey....you just gave yourself a clue. :-) Did you grow these from seed
yourself, or if they came from a garden center, were they on display
someplace OTHER THAN right in the sun, like in a greenhouse where you might
not have noticed that there was shading material on the glass? If so, then
they might not be hardened off - ready for wind, sun, etc, and need to be
introduced slowly.

As far as blossom end rot, I am not aware of that affecting the root system
of tomatoes. It affects the fruit.
