    Nice! Be careful to keep them shaded during the warmer parts of the day if you want them to bloom before fall, the blossoms will start to drop off if they spend more than a couple hours per day in temps above 85F/25C.

      You can run a shade cloth, depending on what zone your in, either anywhere from 80% up to 95% (80% light through, 95% light through) and it’ll ramp up your success rate on fruiting.

    What kind are they? I’ve got some Better Boys this year. Last year I had Cherokee Purples, those are going to be hard to beat

      These doing well are san marzano likes. The sad boys are pink fang. Those are doing better though! Just no flowers yet.
