I had some losses too.

1) Trusses fried
2) Growing Tips fried
3) Slightly exposed fruits (from fungal war pruning), fried on the exposed part
4) Protected fruits, boiled from the heat

Moves to protect:

deployed canopy with shade cloth
played musical chairs with containers so as to insure minimal exposure to sun on all forming fruits
On RGGS tubes I increased the size of the reservoir and decreased the amount of plants on each circuit
Added extra mulch to containers
Fed plants with dry fertilizers
Drench w worm-compost-alfalfa tea
Foliar kelp products

Looks like they're going to make it.

I hope yours rebound too BMitch.
