3. Well, these are the first fruits

so maybe things will get better with subsequent fruits. I water the plants the same time every day (early morning) and when it gets hot-hot (105+), will come back and water them in the late afternoon. I'll definitely try the lime pellet idea. I think this is going to be my last year trying to grow Roma's and Celebrities as they seem to be the most susceptible to BER. Any suggestions as to varieties that are less susceptible?

Btw, you've been a great source of information for this fellow container gardener.

Thanks again,

LTH
