it had 2 pods that where roughly 4 weeks old on it so I put the scape in some water. I changed the water about twice a week for nearly 3 weeks and the pods ripened up for me. The pods never split open but turned brown and the seeds came out firm and still plump. The bottom of the scape was already looking a little slimy so I'm not sure how long this can be done for but in a 2.5 -3 week pinch it worked for me.
I did the same thing a few years ago when I broke a scape while weeding. The pod ripened successfully in water. It was in water for about a month. The seeds were viable and I have seedlings growing from them now. Good luck with yours, Daniel!
