Luffa update (media.piefed.social)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by dkppunk@piefed.social to c/gardening@lemmy.world
 

This was the little guy from last week:

Update on the luffas I posted about: https://piefed.social/post/2094148

These plants grow fast. This is about a week’s worth of growth on two fruits. The luffas have gotten significantly larger.

I’m not going to update these frequently, just wanted to show the growth rate in case anyone is thinking of growing a luffa plant. They are so much fun!

Yeah, they grow faster than tomatoes and slower than cucumbers or zucchini in my experience. They get large pretty quick then stay the same size until they start drying out.
