They will do just fine !

When "they" say hot temps, it simply means some varieties stop producing
new fruit when nighttime temos stay above the nineties F.

That is probably late July or early August.

But it does appear, hopefully, we may have a cooler than
usual summer, so those night temps may be later in
starting, or might not get as hot as normal.

At any rate, accept the challenge and see what happens !

You might also want to try putting a few in the shade, either
in the ground or in pots. The shade creates a microclimate.

You cant always go by what "they" say...... after all this is exas and we are unique and special :)
