These seeds took a bit longer to sprout than I expected, but once they did, the vines grew like crazy. The gourds look promising, and I�m excited for harvest.
I wasn�t sure if I�d have enough space for these gourds, but they thrived in my backyard. The vines are dense, and the gourds are shaping up nicely for autumn harvest.
These seeds were easy to start, and the plants grew vigorously. My kids loved helping with the garden, and we�re looking forward to drying the luffas for craft projects.
I was pleasantly surprised at how simple these were to grow. They require sunlight and support for climbing, but overall, the plants are strong and healthy.
Growing these luffas has been a learning experience. I didn�t expect them to grow so fast! Great for teaching kids about plants that can become practical household items.
