| Loofah growing Structure |
This is the second year I have grown Loofahs. This year I built a 'bean house' out of saplings. Loofahs generally like to climb and hang. Last year I had them next to my chicken coop with landscape timbers leaning up. It worked but it was not the ideal situation. I think they will really like this new bean house but as you can see I unfortunately crowded them. I planted about 2 foot apart but they need 3-5 ft between plants. This is not a great picture but I will post a better one later. They grow crazy fast once the blooms come out. You can see this one at just a couple of days old. Once they are grown I will peel them, wash them and then have great loofah sponges for friends and family.
