I grew some last year for the first time. They proved to be very hardy and I noticed they were great self sowers. The variety I grew was Cossack Pineapple and it was slightly sweet and delicious. I set mine out with my tomatoes and they did well to a point. I noticed that at some point the blooms formed and even created the little balloons, but the fruit didn't set. It might have been the heat, since Joseph mentioned they were cold tolerant. Otherwise, they didn't need a lot of maintenance. Good luck and have fun! I would love to hear how they do.
