Luffa gourds

[Cascadian]

My wife grew our own Luffa's. Gardening is her thing and I am constantly amazed. I am sure she got the seeds from Baker Creek.

Good to know it turned out! I got some seeds, late in the season, but going to plant next year! Has she used any yet?

 

[Cascadian]

No she just started drying them today. Honestly I thought they were cucumbers or something.

How long do they take to dry?

Finally a good alternative for the big TP shortage!

I am going to try growing them on The Ridge to see if they survive the deer and ground hogs.

Beats me. I will follow up when they are done, with some tasteful shower photos.

Alright, just keep the luffas in the right places during the pictures! Need some close ups

Feel free to skip the TP experiments. I will evaluate how well they stand up to an old school diaper pail and report back.
