        Externally but the seeds are on the outside of the pulp (quite unique to the best of my knowledge).

          Those seeds don't seem to be mature enough :noidea: It helps if you leave the pods on the plant for as long as possible. That's OK if the ground beneath the plant is clear enough for you to be able to find the pod if it falls off (it should definitely be ripe then :)). A quick check each day should be sufficient.
