Memory Lane, 31st October 2022: My first loofahs

I peeled a couple of the luffa fruit today. They’re not really fully ripe so it was a little tough to get the skins off, but I eventually managed it. The seeds were still white rather than the normal black as further evidence of the lack of ripeness, but they certainly weren’t going to get any better.

I’m quite happy with the result however. I’m not sure I’ll grow them again unless the weather changes for the warmer and sunnier or we move to a property in a warmer and sunnier area, but it’s been a very interesting experiment and I’ve enjoyed doing it.
