Hi, Ian.  I accidentally did much the same, though not under any conditions
you could call experimental - no data log, no controls, etc.  One year, a
cat fight erupted in my garden, and the tops of several half-grown tomato
plants were snapped off.  I discovered them the day after the fight.  I cut
the ends of each half, to expose fresh tissue, and stuck them together with
a Band-Aid.  They grew together very quickly, but were out-produced (by
far) by the undamaged plants.  The plants I grafted were not mature, as the
ones you are grafting are.
