Have you planted them in the garden yet? If not, you should bury the plants up to the top two or so sets of leaves and pick the first fruit off the plant to encourage the plant to put it's energy towards rooting and foliage growth.

I would.When I bought my 2 in feb when they set flowers I pulled them off.I also useually will pull the bottom stems off and plant deeper..more roots seek more moisture& make a good plant.

So what kind did ya buy?mulch them too.they'll fare better.I mulch mine with weeds& newspaper& compost.

I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
