There's definitely a discrepancy in the instructions that might be explained by early windfalls not being usable. I can't both hull them immediately, and wait for them to turn yellow and be dentable with my thumb.

I can't believe I have to start the school year with my hands stained. Kids are gonna think I just don't shower!
