Default Mandrake and seed pods

Hi all,

Anyone out there an experienced Mandrake grower ?
I have had on in a pot for several years now, every year, nice flowers, and
plenty of leaves, until the slugs get in there at least, however this year,
I recently noticed a very large green tomato like structure on the plant,
it's attached tot he very centre via a very fine green stem. I was wondering
whether anyone might know if this is a genuine mandrake seed pod, and if
anyone knows anything about the lifecycle. I need to know whether to wait
for it to dry and burst, or should I harvest and store it etc etc, basically
whatever will end up with me being able to grow a whole oad more mandrakes
would be great.

Cheers
Duncan
