Have you ever wanted to grow your own natural bath and kitchen sponges? Luffa are extremely disease and pest resistant and the fruit is also edible while it’s still small. Th

Harvesting loofah at the right time makes peeling them easy. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣After peeling, rinse the sponges well by spraying them off with a hose; allow the rinsed loofah to dry thoroughly in the sunlight.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Saving seeds is easy; when it is ready to harvest as a sponge, the seeds are usually ready, too. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣Once the loofah dries, shake out the seeds inside the gourd, and if they are black, then save the seeds to share with others and plant the following year.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
