| May 22nd. Only one week after planting the loofah seed. |
 |
| Late June |
 |
| Same loofah plant in early October |
I love Loofah. Bob accuses it of being a weed but I don't listen.
 |
| One month after planting late June |
 |
September 11th. First Flower!!! |
 |
That morning I went outside and had to RUN back in for my camera. I had given up all hope of getting a blossom
but there it was. I thought "It's too late in the season to get a loofah but at least I got a blossom". I was wrong!!!!
|
 |
| This is the wall today (3 weeks later) filled with beautiful bright yellow blosoms! Better yet... |
 |
| Attached to the base of the blossoms are little loofah! Each mini loofah is anywhere from 2" - 3" long. |
 |
| This 7" loofah is growning in the small planter pot |
 |
| This 9" loofah is growning on the loofah arch wall. |
Below (thank you GoogleVoice) is my text conversation with Bob from this morning
Me: There are 8 million little loofah out on my plants. So
exciting. I actually grew something! 6:56
AM
Bob: I think it might be like saying "I grew weeds" :D
9:46 AM
Me: Ha. Mock if you want to but when the Zombie Apocalypse
is here, you are going to want to wash something and my growing skills will save
us. 10:21 AM
I know Bob is eager to rip out my loofah, build some planters and plant jasmine vines but I am determined to see how long these baby's can survive. I have been told they will keep growing until we get a freeze. I may have these same vines for years.
