    Eaten into his seed pods in the night, but looks like a lot of seed :)

    Wonder if they'll be fertile? DSCN1575.JPG

    If there are seed pods, then usually they are fertile.
    Most pods just drop if the flower is not fertilised.

    They often split at the base when ripe.

        Sown some into gritty compost. Plastic bag over the pot any advantage? :)

        Keep in the shade, sow on the surface, and no full sun for this year.
        If they look brown rather than green at any point, then the light is too strong.

          I've sown on the surface :)

          I'll keep em in a dappled part of the caravan, take it they won't mind it getting hot in the day?

          Hot yes but 25-30C would be ok, as long as they have humidity and shade.
