They can sometimes still have lots of fruit in October, moving them indoors can ripen the last of the fruit , you also have the option of keeping them over the winter - no chance of that if planted in the border.
Brilliant Scarlet, sound advice and perhaps things I wouldn't have considered. Thank you.
