Q – For the past few days, I’ve been hearing a popping noise like the sound of a small explosion in the house. Every time it’s happened, I’ve tried to find the source but to no avail…until today. When the noise occurred this afternoon, I saw it was coming from a plastic box in which I had gathered Sweetpea pods a few weeks ago. Am I right, and is this usual?
