we have babies.. looffas that is

[Guest guest]

It is so exciting. You would think we just had a real baby born

yesturday. This is our first time growing loofa spounges so it is

quite excting. Everyone looks at me like im crazy. " YOUR GROWING

SPOUNGES???? " " they all ask. sure enough we are trying. All summer we

have waited for something to happen. The loofas we had in the back

got taken over by cucumbers, which of course are now dead as well.

But I planted 3 behind the house by a heart shaped shepards hook,

basket hanger thing. 1 or 2 started coming up. Now the thing is huge.

I keep wraing the " tenticles " as i call them like a squid or

something around the heart but there is just too many. THey wern't

kidding whent hey said to space them 18 feet apart. yes 18 feet.

geesh.

so anyways it just started blooming 2 days ago was its first flower

and today its second with plenty more to come and yesturday i noticed

a few little spounde nubbies an inch long. I hope like crazy these

will grow into nice little spounges. They say they are to be 1 to 2

feet long but I will settle for 6 or so right now. just to say that I

grew at least one for our first season. Everyone is so excited, even

my Father, and especially the kids who have all been looking and

waiting all summer.

Its exciting so i just had to share.

lol honestly i don't know the name of the store. some farm store here

in greece on latta road i think it is. i just asked my mom and she

named a few places she doesn't even remember, but we think it is

green acres. We don't go there even once a year. just happened to go

for some reason and there were the seeds. at least i think that was

the place. not something you find everyday thats for sure.

I planted them sometime early june. the pack said it takes 120

days... so we knew it wouldn't be til late summer before we got

something if anything at all but I thought id try a few, and save the

seeds in a good spot for next year and start them early then.
