Oh my gosh, thank you for telling me this @Artorius! :hugs
I just went and opened some of the older pods which are saggy and yellowing with fully formed seed inside, just in case. I didn't see any sprouted seed knock on wood. What do you think is the best way to deal with the drying pods, should I open them all? Those pods are really odd.

@heirloomgal, this year I only opened the pods a little from the top so that the moisture inside could evaporate faster. That was all I could do. Unfortunately, I did it too late, and quite a few seeds germinated in the Koronis Cream pods. I harvested them before they were completely dry, so I could get them before the frost, which ended my adventure this year. In the past I had trouble with seeds germinating inside with Ohio Pole, Melungeon, Awahsohs Bear, Grandma Gina's, Lengua de Lobo and other beans with thick and fleshy pods.
