I'm no farmer

Use big containers, and a potting soil that has lots of mulch/compostables in it. Put half an inch of straight mulch on the top after planting to keep the roots and real soil cool. I use half whisky barrels that you can pick up from home Depot. A big container is going to resist heat changes and water fluctuations better than a small pot. You can plant a few in a big container and have better luck that a few small containers.

Put them in a place that gets only a couple hours of direct sunlight (3-5 hours Max during peak summer), with indirect light the rest of the day. You won't get big fruit this way, but you should get a good yield of small to medium fruit and the plant won't fry in the colorado sun.

Over watering is easier to do than underwatering. stick your finger in the soil about an inch and a half (2 inches including mulch), if there is any moisture in the dirt wait another day. When you do water, water a bunch to get the water down deep in the soil, to promote deep root growth. This ends up being every 3 days or so for me unless it's particularly hot and dry, then every 2 days. Once every other week use a spray in fertilizer that attaches to your hose with the watering. Expect the leaves to droop in the middle of the day during high heat. If they don't bounce back during the night, they need more water. But many people think the heat droop is the same as an underwater droop.

Keep on the small bugs... They will kill the fruit. A very diluted dish soap and water mixture in a spray bottle is a good solution. Spray down the fruit and leaves if any sign of bugs.
