Ade looks like a lot of good advice. I had same problem in Houston.
This year is much better. Things I changed.

1. Started earlier. Plants in ground in March.
2. Never use soil in pots. Only good potting mix.
3. Do not over fertilize. They will grow with no blooms.
4. Defenately use toothbrush and finger flick a lot.
5. Make sure soil is =< 7PH
6. Find the right variety. BigBeef is working for me.

I am going try a shade system for summer. Just finished a low cost prototype.
