It sounds like they're not done yet. Bad if you have a weigh-off soon. Good if you're growing for yourself & the first frost is still a ways off.

SOme of them just stay smooth, too. Look at the 1385 Daletas. It has very little ribbing. The 659 Troy 03 also had very little ribbing and was very smooth. I think they look better when they are smooth.
