Carolyn, in answer to your question .. I agree with Tracydr, it has also been my experience that they are slow here producing fruit till now... I noticed my first one on the vine about 3in long and the vines have been blooming for a while now. I think it is because here on the desert the night temps are much lower. As an example .. last month the day was 93f and that same night was 48f ... some plants handle this well and some do strange things compared to where the daytime highs and nighttime lows are close together.. I also think this is partly why we can be above a 100f during the day and still set tomatoes. I meant to mention another vegetable that reacts to the cool night temps... Asian yardlong beans... my greenbeans have about given out and will get replanted soon, but the yardlong (planted at the same time) have just now got about 6in tall and I replanted another row last week and they are the same size as the ones planted a month ago and looking much greener and stronger.
