When the pods start to look dry-ish, gently tip the stalk over and tap it over a piece of white paper. Any seeds that are ready will simply fall onto the paper and be easily seen. You may want to do this a couple times a day if you want to collect as much as possible.
The pods will ripen from the bottom up, so watch that one first.
Good luck.
