Luffa Gourd is a an awesome alternative to hard to grow squashes here in FL. While the flavor does not compare to that of squash, zucchini, or cucumber... Luffa powers through pests and summer garden heat. Each vine can yield over 20 gourds if allowed to do so. For the kitchen, take young gourds early prior to them growing more than 6" in length. The bigger the gourds get, the more difficult to cook and eat. 

 

Gourds can also be allowed to dry out on the vine. Once the gourd is completely brown, peel the skin and inside you will find the sponge like material that gives this plant its name. The sponge can be used for washing dishes, your shower, or whatever else you can come up with.
