Luffa Gourd Seeds The famous Luffa Sponge is really a gourd! On
the vine, these gourds can reach anywhere from 6 inches to 2 1/2
feet long, and about 4 to 7 inches in diameter. They ripen to
dark green in late summer, and should be left on the vine until
the skin begins to shrivel. When this occurs, harvest them and
scrub the skin away, revealing the porous, dense network of tan-
colored matter within. They will be full of seeds; just cut the
gourd to desired size and shake out the seeds. They're ready to
use! Sow seeds directly in full sun after the soil has warmed.
Train the vine onto a trellis or fence to save space and to
producemore rounded fruit. Pkt is 25 seeds. |Item Form||(P) Pkt
