Another development ... A branch was broken off and the whole truss fell onto the foot of the container. It was BigBeef f1, which was supposed to stay reasonably sized... This happened before I had realized the idea of making little hammocks of old pantyhose to support the heavy trusses. (not sure it would help much though, as the supportive stakes are already too small for the plants...)
So the truss is now ripening indoors in a nice cardboard box covered with paper. I shall cut off all large beefsteaks at the first hint of color.
