I stored mine in the basement, and yes they do get quite moldy. When they were dried out inside, I washed & scrubbed them with a solution of bleach and water.

I grew them about 10 years ago, but I didn't know how to dry them properly. How did you dry yours? On the vine? Mine were picked just as the weather got cold, and I left them on my porch for weeks. They got dry & moldy but since we have allergies, I couldn't bring them in the house. I gave them to a lady from the gas company who knocked on my door. I'd love to know how you got yours to dry. I know you can scrape the mold off but perhaps there's more to it?
