Wow. You are behind.

I got my 32 plants ( a far cry from a thousand) in during the dry spell we had back in May. Most of my plants have fruit much like your raised bed plants.

If you can get them in soon I think you can expect fruit from the early and mid-season varieties but the lates may be a problem.

You might also want to ignore the ‘pluck the blossoms when you plant’ theory. The plants might not grow as big but I think you would have a better chance for fruit.

I’ll pray for dry days.
