    Loofah are a gourd, grow like a cucumber, and would be great on your pumpkin arch. Leaves smell like peanut butter. Don't know if you can eat them. Interesting plant. Might consider throwing slug pellets inside your tents just to be sure. Remember caterpillars crawl ,and can go under anything so can slugs. Love your garden.

    Sarah , try growing garlic ( they get planted in the late fall before the frost here in the states & they winter over & are harvested the following late summer / early fall . but you’d have to go by your grow times ) around the outside of your beds . I planted a bed of 24 cloves from my garlic bulbs & never once did the slugs or snails go near or in that bed of garlic! They don't like garlic or onion !

      You can actually grow store bought ones . Just buy a bulb & separate them ( only take the outer dry layer off ) into cloves * DON'T NOT PEEL THE SKIN OFF * and plant them in the fall before your first frost , pointy side up ( root end down ) about 6 inches away from each other & other plants . They don't like to be crowded . Cover the bed with mulch ( I use dried leaves after they fall off the trees ) for the winter . Harvest them when the bottom 3 leaves turn brown . Hang them to dry out of the direct sun and rain, but where there's air blowing ( leave most of the soil on til they dry , then just brush it off ) through . Dry About 4 weeks & then you can cut the tops off ( leave about 1 1/2 inches of stem ) and trim off the long roots that stick out . I'm over run here with slugs & snails & they never once went after the garlic. Good luck !

      😂 Its the creepy crawlies that do it every time. One moment your humming to yourself quite happy, or chatting pleasantly, then its a jump and a shudder, as something lands on your foot. 😅 Its an ancient reflex and wisely so.
      You could make an arch for your loofah plants, because they grow pretty big. You'll need to leave them if they grow, until the seeds inside can be heard rattling. You'll have fun then, stripping them. Plus collecting more seeds to plant.
      I saw a lovely hobby craft with loofa. Cut in to circles and filled with hand made soap. A bar of soap, with ready made scrubber.
      Wow, how well your sweet peas have grown. They really are a flower that keeps on giving. Beautiful and sweet smelling.
      Ha i could feel the tension growing, dealing with the netting. You did well finding the ends of the netting. I could almost hear you saying oh bother..(add your own words here. 😬😂 ) the corners missing!!! A knotty irritation. 👍
