Those pads look great. I have five green gourds drying in the basement. I turn them frequently and they look to be drying at different rates. There are two that I will process this week. I like using them for scrubbing pans. I am still cutting scrub pads from a good sized luffa that my daughter brought me from Brazil a few years ago. Not only do the luffa scrubbers do a good job but they hold up well; perhaps because they dry out so thoroughly between uses. Don’t harbor Bactria as readily as those blue sponges.
I’m glad this popped up as a suggested video. I’m in NJ and I wound up harvesting in September while still green since my dogs kept knocking them off vines. I wound up with close to 20 that are on a clothes drying rack in my screened porch. They are still greenish.
Just found your channel and I've been BINGE watching allllllllllll your videos !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do in posting these videos , I know it's very time consuming but they are so very well done and inspirational. So much so that I am starting my very own 25ft long tunnel trellis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am thrilled ! Can't wait to see what grows !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much ❤️ -Jess from zone 9b
Thanks for showing how you process your green luffas. Im in the uk so they never dry on the vine. Its the second time ive grown luffas and ive got at least 6 from one plant. Can't wait to finish processing them and making the sponges like yours.
Ran across your video,enjoyed seeing others take on luffas.I⁸ live in Iowa .I have enjoyed growing luffas so satisfying . Peeling green luffas I found soaking them first in soapy water makes easier to peel.last two years, I experiment with places some to dry in garage totally work and hanging and clipping them to a line to hang to leaving some in pile of old gourds to dry with the winter elements All 3 worked ,just allow them to breath and air to circulate. As vines grow Ive had them jump our trellis and hop to cedar tree and grow up our cedar trees along with dinasour gourds. Look forward to more of your videos!
Where do you get your seeds from ? I have looked but never see any... I'm in Michigan about 40 minutes from Lansing (capital) ? will they grow up here ? I am really impressed with your garden and thank you because I Am Learning With/From You.
I need to add luffa seeds to my “seeds to purchase” list. Soooo many things to try and grow. 😀 I was part of a community garden and 2 yrs ago we tried growing luffas, but it was a really rainy season that summer and it didn’t work out. I have a ?, how long did each of those square luffas pieces last when using it to wash dishes? I might try to grow then next summer. Great video!!
@@itsbreellis Thanks!! I just imagine luffas falling apart after about 5 uses. I have never used a luffa, so I will get some to try them out first. They just seem like a cool thing to grow. 😂

The favorite gift everyone loved this year was putting small bar of soap before sewing. Wonderful in the shower

Good Idea!!! Thanks from Argentina!!!
Love your enthusiasm!!

Processing these green was SO HARD! I only made it through a few bc it was a lot of work. But they were an epic crop!
They are a ton of work!! I was over it lol
I’ve wanted to do this forever. I’ve used loofah for dishes and they lasts
How magical!

This information is great! I have 80 green luffas that I’m trying to dry in the greenhouse but I’m getting impatient!
Where do you get your seeds from ?
I have looked but never see any...
I'm in Michigan about 40 minutes from Lansing (capital)
? will they grow up here ?

Amazon has seeds what zone are you in
I always look forward to and love your videos. I am going to add this to my garden next year.
Thank you! ❤️
Great business idea grow and sell luffa
WE LOVE YOUU!!! 😘😘
from a friend from Cyprus!
Why not slightly ferment the green loofahs in water to soften the skins?
Great idea!!! Love to see more of your videos 🤗
Thank you!
Will there be diffrent in strength between green luffa sponge and brown matured luffa sponges which will be hard and strong?
I love this thankyou
What part of the Midwest??? I've wanted to for 2 years and love this.
Great video you have inspired me to try to grow loofah I may have missed it but what variety/ brand of seeds do you use
What month do you start loofah plants?
😊65 for my first year of growing (and only 2plants!)--but be warned ⚠️ they can TAKE OVER the garden 😢 farewell calendula...Basil...new seedlings 😭

You should! That was my previous year where the luffas did terrible. I’m not positive yet on how long each will last but I’m going to keep notes!

Excellent video! Thank you so much for the tutorial! Your loofah sponges are gorgeous!
Thank you!
I bet you could make loofah with soap inside it I like soap sponge idea you know how people are always dropping the soap cause it's slippery
Maybe put sponge in a rope
Loofa from the sea??? Hahahaha 🤭👍
Going on my list for next years garden! 🧽
I’ve just known that you guys don’t eat them 🥲🥲🥲. I’m in Vietnam and we grow them to eat
I assume u are form Canada
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😎
How can i get the seedlings
I got mine from baker creek
Grow loofa and sell me a Bre sponge! :)
