Nice! Be careful to keep them shaded during the warmer parts of the day if you want them to bloom before fall, the blossoms will start to drop off if they spend more than a couple hours per day in temps above 85F/25C.
It hasn't gotten quite that hot here yet!
You can run a shade cloth, depending on what zone your in, either anywhere from 80% up to 95% (80% light through, 95% light through) and it'll ramp up your success rate on fruiting.
