Just don't want you to be super disappointed cause it may be difficult if you don't have a heated greenhouse for winter.

Thanks for the information. I just figured I may be able to get them to fruit sometime whether it be this spring or summer because from June till the end of august its almost always above 80 degrees during the day. It can get much warmer here too. The nights mostly get down to 60-75 degrees. Here and there due to thunderstorms moving through it can get down to 55-60 degrees at night and 70-75 in the day. We also have fairly humid summers too. For exmaple I looked up the current weather and at 11:00 pm the outside temperature is 72 degrees and the relative humidity is 82%.
