This was the little guy from last week:
Update on the luffas I posted about: https://piefed.social/post/2094148
These plants grow fast. This is about a week’s worth of growth on two fruits. The luffas have gotten significantly larger.
I’m not going to update these frequently, just wanted to show the growth rate in case anyone is thinking of growing a luffa plant. They are so much fun!
They look so good! I have wanted to grow a luffa plant for so long but I'm determined to do it this year. (The season is not right yet here). Glad to hear their fun to grow. Are you planning on eating them or leaving them to become sponge?
Interesting, they're actually much slower than zucchini or summer squash, I guess they have all that extra structure to build inside!
Yeah, they grow faster than tomatoes and slower than cucumbers or zucchini in my experience. They get large pretty quick then stay the same size until they start drying out.
