Gourd Luffa

Tasty young fruits can be used in soups and stews, and nicely substitute for cucumbers. In 90 days or so, the gourd’s flesh is fibrous, magically transforming into natural bath sponges for cleaning and exfoliating skin to a healthy glow. Harvest at 2" long for delectable baby vegetables or up to 7" long for drying into sponges. Vines spread 12'.
