Bottle gourds (Calabash) & Luffa Sponges grown on a Tower Garden. 🌱💚

Most people assume that luffa sponges come from the sea 🌊, however it is actually a vegetable 🌿!

Bottle Gourds belong to the same family as luffa sponges known as Cucurbits (which also includes cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, and zucchini/courgette).

Bottle Gourds have been used since ancient times for a wide variety of uses. Aside from being edible, Bottle Gourds are traditionally dried and then used as storage containers, bottles, instruments, and decoration.

If you want to elevate your Tower Garden to the next level, grow these two stunning vegetables and you are guaranteed not to be disappointed.

Curcubits love to crawl and it is necessary to have a grow cage in order to give support for the vines that sprawl out in all directions.

For more information, please read our blog post: Gourds on a Tower Garden

Another luffa harvest!

Growing luffa (loofah) in the garden takes time, it can be over 120 days until the gourds are harvested. 🧑‍🌾After all that time, the joy of harvesting is intense!😀😀😀

Did you know that Luffa is quite easy to grow, and when the fruits are still young, they're actually quite delicious. They can be eaten like zucchinis or cucumbers when young and tender!

Check luffa plants frequently and remove any dried gourds. These will be brown, feel light and dry, and rattle with loose seeds when shaken. Mature gourds will begin to turn brown and dry. Harvest the fruit immediately if frost arrives, as the fruits may rot if left on the vine!

Growing luffa sponges in your garden is a fun and rewarding, luffa requires patience and a long growing season. These rambling, strong growing vines can grow to 30 feet(10m) or more in length. A structural support is required for the vines to grow on. To grow luffas, you'll need well drained, rich soil with a high content of compost and organic matter as chiken manure. Luffa prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH of 6.0 – 6.8 . Luffa gourds require a well-drained soil in a location where they will have full sun and good air circulation...More information>>>https://chokrihomeandgarden.blogspot.com/2017/10/how-to-grow-luffa-sponge.html

Growing luffa is really fun but it definitely takes lot of patience. Luffa is cold sensitive and takes a long time to mature into a dried sponge.This interesting plant is easy to grow in the home garden if you give it some strong structure to ramble over. Each year I grow luffa in a new place in my garden, so i can have good success. I enjoy growing this wonderful plant and harvesting lot of luffa that i can offer to my friends!
