A few of the Luffa Gourds we have peeled out. These make the best sponges ever. It was a lot of fun growing these and an interesting, delicate plant. We included seeds from these and our 214.5 giant watermelon in the Exotic Seed Exchange this year. MERRY CHRISTMAS to each and all and the best of luck to everyone in the coming 2018 growing season !!!
