However I do have one question for anyone who may have successfully
germinated Mandragora seeds;

My kids (Harry Potter fans both) were delighted to find Mandrake growing in
one of the gardens we visited recently. I'm _pretty_ sure (we did a lot of
gardens that week, OK?!) it was the HDRA gardens at Yalding
(http://www.hdra.org.uk/yalding.htm). Might be worth seeing if they have
any tips (other than on how to harvest the root, given that the scream as
they come up is fatal...)
