These seeds are a must for anyone who likes DIY projects. The luffas are sturdy and uniform, and it feels great knowing they�re heirloom and Non-GMO.
I tried growing these for the first time, and I�m impressed. The loofahs are long, fibrous, and perfect for crafts or bath use. Definitely a conversation starter in the garden.
I wanted natural scrubbing sponges, and these seeds delivered! Growing them was straightforward, and they provide a sustainable option for my kitchen and bathroom.
I wasn�t sure if I could manage these gourds, but the seeds sprouted quickly and the vines thrived. The loofahs are firm and long-lasting once dried.
Germination was fast and consistent, and the vines are healthy. I harvested several loofahs this season and am already planning to plant more next year.
