     i've never tried growing them here.   
      
     i think it might be worth the effort if you enjoy eating   
   them, but i don't think you have soil defined as "light, fertile,   
   well drained", your pH is likely to be too high (they like   
   more neutral soil and not heavily alkaline).   
      
     doesn't look like they do very well in hot weather.  :(
