I had a couple that, with what I think was wet weather induced, almost seemed to be mushy before splitting. So I got nervous and brought them inside splitting one section and having them dry out in the pod and it seemed they did fine. A lot of my OT crosses looked like this and a couple trumpet. The pods got really soft, I mean really soft, quite different from what I have witnessed in the past. Though I will admit I am no expert at this.
The good news is I think they are drying fine. Many are already dried out now. Trumpets seem to take longer, but I did this with about 10 pods.
There's always something new to learn every year it seems. Just when you think you have a handle on something, something new seems to occur to jar any confidence you may have had.
