>...for the first time I've found a large hole in the
side of almost every TB seed pod I have. So when they are
dry, there may be nothing left
in them. Does anyone know what got into them?
Worms, most likely. They are probably still there. Last
year I patched some of the holes like that with Elmer's
glue. When the pods matured, I found damaged seeds and a
dead worm. I think stopping up the hole probably smothered
the worm as I don't think there is anything in the glue
that would have killed it. In any case, it seemed to work
and prevent the whole pod from being eaten. The quicker I
spotted the hole and patched, the less damage there was in
the pod.
