I've poked around online but must have overlooked this tidbit so I'll ask here. Is P. vulgaris self fertile?

That's too bad. I have some seed that I got from my one and only surviving vulgaris and I had hoped... ah well.

if you have seeds, it is because it has been fertilized, you have other ping next to it ?

No, other than some Mexican Pings on a nearby table but they don't count.
