Thanks Uli, David, Bracey, Tim & Erik for your very helpful comments and provided links. I particularly enjoyed the bit of insight into how birds are involved in the spread of the seeds. I’ve started by spreading most of the ‘mouldy congealed mess’ over a paper towel. This was a very sticky and time consuming job, but now I can see that the individual seeds will be fairly easy to extract once dry. Given that there are many dozens of seeds to deal with in one fruit, I would like to try the water fermentation technique - will test this out on a remaining blob of seed pulp. Yes, these are rewarding plants to grow. Mine are in 10 litre buckets (a couple of tubers in each) which are placed in part sun positions, and the plants sprawl through other plants. Great, attractive, long lasting foliage, and the flowers are a real treat over the Winter months. Don’t know about trying out the fruits as a snack myself. Would need more than the 2 produced this season for a start!
