THIS is my loofah vines! They've taken over the garden bed and have spilled out onto the grass in front of the bed. I had to use a 2x4 to prop up the trellises, as I mentioned before they weren't really strong enough for loofahs. The cucumbers would have done just fine here had the loofahs not crowded them out.
I picked/cut these seven gourds to begin practicing this week how to peel them and make them into sponges. The one on the far left was the first to grow on the vine - I probably should have cut it much sooner. I'm going to have more than three dozen gourds to play with - and I just saw 6-7 baby ones on the vines in the grass! I've read that the vines will keep on producing until they freeze! Oh boy!
I'm working extra this week so I may not get the next post on until next week. Until then, never surrender, never give up, and may all your dreams come true.
