Thanks for all the opinions\suggestions. I was gifted with a hand held laser temperature device; it's great for cooking; this is another great use for it.
The containers are various colors, white, black, brown, blue. Some still have their original description labels. I'll check on the volume of the reservoirs. They are on tables. I always water with cool water.
I've noticed a watering related wilt\perk-up cycle in my eggplants, which are planted in earth boxes. Our days have averaged in the high 90's, only one day at 105. In their case I think they benefit from having their roots cooled.
The tomatoes and eggplants have all grown so big they provide plenty of shade for their containers. It really amazes me.
I'll start taking temps tomorrow, and if I have the time start keeping track of temperature and water use.
