Mine don't, at least not until way late in the summer. The plants just keep growing and blooming, but never set fruit; the blooms just fall off. Meanwhile I have these shrubs, 3-4' tall and across.

No, I don't over-fertilize. I don't fertilize my veggie garden with regular fertilizer at all, the soil is just so incredibly fertile from all the compost I keep digging into it to help break up the clay, which is also incredibly fertile.

I have tried at least 8 different cultivars, and the only one that reliably fruited came from a "rainbow mix" that I have no clue what it was, other than immature purple that matured orange.

Almost ready to give up growing the silly things...
