What type of datura are we talking about? I will assume stramonium just because it is most common. If the pods are pretty much formed they will most likely mature even if the plant is dead. If you had a picture I could let you know what kind of shape you're in. Towards the end of the season, I'll often end up with very few leaves (sometimes none) with the pods still growing. This is where the plant's energy is focused anyway at this point in the year. If your pods are barely developed or if you are talking about another type of datura, you may have a smaller chance of gettng seeds. I have found that d. alba and d. metel usually take longer to flower and the seed pods are typically slower to develop. In that case, you'd be more likely to end up with immature seeds. For now, just leave the plant to grow and keep an eye out for more pests. Try to let the pods mature on the plant. They can take freezing, but the plant cannot, so you prety much can give it until the first frost and hope they split open. If the plant's totally dead it's the same as letting them dry in your house. Even if they don't split open, you will probably still ahve good seeds. It's just best when they mature fully on the plant because that's how nature intended it. You may even just leave it alone and let it seed naturally. I don't even plant the seeds anymore. I end up with so many seedlings in the spring I have to kill a good percentage of them.
