UPDATE... They did continue to get fatter and ripen. The top ones that turned yellow were fat, sweet, and just like last years crop. The ones on the bottom were a little too skinny but they did eventually ripen up and tasted good. My husband and kids loved them and ate them ALL! I even sent one out for tasting to Steve (DoctorSteve) but it was a few of the skinnier bottome ones.
So NEVER give up.
