  Lots of mine that were hidden behind my trellis came out white but still worked out fine for

  They dried on the vine, you'll want to pick them a few weeks earlier next year. At least you
  got a head start on next year! My 2nd years really took off this year

  Mine took about a day and a half, I'm no pro but it seems like it worked. They were about 2

  Toss them in some moist dirt! If you have some rooting hormone around put some on the base and
