Plants can do very well if grown near a wall in a sheltered sunny garden and flowers may have set to produce a few small fruitlets this month. Flowers are self-fertile and fruit should set without intervention, but sometimes things don't work out that way. Give plants a gentle shake, so the pollen can fall where it is needed within the flower and this should improve fruit set.
It's worth providing some support at this stage. Stems can break under the weight10 days or so, if you want plenty of healthy fruits per plant.
