Re: Noisy seeds

I've had the same thing happen to me Andrea.  I had some pods in a paper
envelope on the desk in my bedroom...and one evening I kept hearing this
popping/rustling sound.  When I found the source of the noise and opened up
the envelope...one popped open right then and seeds jump out.  It was so
cool to watch!
