    I know I'm not the only one that sees how much love is in this family. He looks at her like she is the most amazing person. And she has such a friendly and wholesomeness about her. Very down to earth. I subscribed and can't wait for a ton more tutorials!

      These folks are the kind of people you love having as friends! In their videos they are always positive - no doom and glooming (or as my grandma used to say 'stinkin thinkin'). Such a joy to watch.

    The cat at the beginning.. did not look amused at being woke up! I think people assume luffas come from the ocean because a lot of people call them a luffa sponge... and people associate natural sponges with the ocean. But... what do I know... lol! Thanks for sharing! 🤠

    My 7 yr old is expecting 2 or 3 seeds in the mail from a seed swap... spending all super bowl Sunday watching all the "luffa shows" on you tube with momma! Now let's all pray the mailman doesn't lose the pkg!

    People that make soap would definitely love these. People do the round soap where you have a Louffa slice in a round mold and pour the soap in to set. Also, all the little odd n end bits you can run through the food processor, and the shredded Louffa is mixed in homemade soaps as an exfoliant.

    "You grew a Loofa? I thought those grew in the ocean?" My father told me that they grow in the ocean, so I'm pretty excited to grow some and send them to my family, no ocean required! Thanks for another awesome video!

    I finally successfully grew loofahs this year and cannot wait to gift them to friends and family! I'm using them for the shower and dishes. I'm definitely saving all the seeds to exchange with local homesteaders because [from what I know] no one grows them here and it is time to change that.

    I love this video, but I also love that Zach said, "warsh rag"! People always tease me about saying "warsh" instead of wash. Lol It's a southern thing. ❤ But seriously I love y'all! And y'all have inspired us to plant our 1st fall garden! 😊

  • @Sketcher93
    @Sketcher93 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I started my seeds indoors and yes, they were extremely slow to germinate. And then slow to get started once they were put outside in the warm ground. I grew them near a cow panel like you did. And it took forever for them to climb up and flower. But lo and behold... I have loofah. Right here in central Minnesota in zone 5. It can be done. Thanks 😊

    What a cute family you are! Thank you for all the information about Loofah, I will definitely try them out (ordered seeds last night), but I am based in Norway (waaaaay colder than Kentucky, haha!) So, hopefully I will be able to grow them under growlights, and then outside in a warm place! :)

    I direct sawed mine. Planted 9 and all came up in no time. I pulled a few of the weakest out. They grew monstrous but I had a lot of worms eating them from inside out. Finally got a bit cold for them. I have a few larger gourds on but most didn’t make it because of the worms. Can’t wait to harvest them. You are right about patients. They took forever to make fruit. Mine are the same size like yours. They look great!

    I think it was on a Living Traditions Homestead video that I watched where Sarah grew and processed lufas too. I don’t think I could grow them here in Michigan unless I built a glass heated greenhouse. Such a long process.

    • @Candylandavenue1
      @Candylandavenue1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Terri Newton you absolutely can grow loofah!! I planted my loofah from seed in mid-July & just harvested mine last night. In my experience, it's always best to direct sow seeds, especially the cucurbitae family, they do not like being transplanted at all & that can always stunt your crop. I think that may be why it took the Stivers loofah so long to grow.

    • @Qwazier3
      @Qwazier3 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The crazy weather we had in PA this year, I can't see that I could grow those loofahs without a greenhouse situation too. The wind, rain and cold had my gardening at a standstill till mid June. Everything was late getting in. I almost gave up.

    Hurray! I am adding raised beds to my lawn and patio. I am going to try loofah on a cattle panel over the patio beds. I will probably have to start them in January here in 6a. lol Even if I don't get loofah's the vines and flowers on the arch will be beautiful on the patio and bring in pollinators. Thank you for sharing this process from start to finish. Great video! 💕

    Love this video!!! I grew some this year. I planted 7 seedlings this June and harvested mine 2 weeks ago due to having a freeze come through our area and we picked 170 gourds!!! Right now they are covering 4 tables in my living and dining room. I've lost 10 to rot starting on them since bringing them in. So it's a waiting game to see how many we end up with.

    Greetings! I love using loofah pads. This video is so helpful to know I can grow them too. May I please have loofah seeds when I visit Kentucky in 2 weeks? I absolutely want to grow loofah though next spring to harvest in fall for gifts throughout the year (Christmas, Mother’s Day, Birthdays). The comments everyone posted are helpful too. I like where Appalachian Mercantile puts them in their homemade soap, what a great idea. Hey Jenn, maybe making homemade soap will be something we can learn to do. Can you imagine using your own flowers or herbs to infuse or decorate them. I can see Zach’s Zinnias decorating a few. Loofah soap bars, got to remember that. Thank you for sharing your loofah experience, this will help so much next spring planting. Great thing is I can watch your loofah video again to refresh my memory and help with patience growing them. Have a beautiful blessed day! 😊♥️🌾🐝

    I love how the western world is fascinated by lufa. It’s the ONLY thing we know. The most unfortunate person would be the one to take the first bath with her Lufa. Lol. We also cut it lengthwise to have the rough side exposed so it would be like a flat kinda lufa.

    Great video full of information...I put my little guy in the ground in June and it took awhile for it to get trained up also, but man when it took off....it took OFF!! The leaves are bigger than my head and tons of fruit growing on just one plant that spans a 10x5 lattice patio...did I mention that it’s growing past the patio cover onto the back of the house another 10’ and I’ve got to turn the vine back toward the patio 😂😂😂
    Easy to grow here in Las Vegas, they like the heat and the rats are enjoying the fruit too 😤😤

    We did luffa Gourd this year, trans planted 6 plants. The vine can grow up to 30 feet long, we have over 25 Gourds growing. i had a big problem with Leaf Footed Bugs sucking the juice out of my flowers and gourds. Next year I will be placing 2 16 foot cattle panels together so the vines can grow from one side to the other. This year I had to cross the vines back onto themselves, and cross the panels 2 times. That for show us how your did. I think there will be lots of people growing them next year. - Jeff

    Another idea would be to coat them in wax and use them as candles and or fire starters in your woodstove. Thank you for this video. Loofah is so interesting. I also thought they grew in the ocean until this year.

    Jen, girl hoard the "skinny tips" for cleaning narrow mouth containers like sports water bottles, rabbit waterers and so on. Just a tip that I wish I would have known or realized.
    Another one is the core is left with the "segment wings" attached and a handle added makes a good spider web "getter" for like the porch and even cleans out the lint compartment in a dryer. Tyfs and God bless.
    P.S. Almost forgot, to make a quick cucumber, zucchini or the outsides of bottles, cleaner run a zip tie (may need to link more than one for the right length) through the entire length of the loofah (cut to the size you want) and connect the zip tie to its other end, pulling the loofah into a doughnut shape. Just run what you want cleaned through the center.

      @@shericandee9882 Yw. I love sharing what I refer to as "life hacks" to leave it broad, it might be a hack for cleaning or maintenance or something other area, but their all a part of life. And I actually forgot one good one so I'm going now to add it to my original comment. Check it out. Hope you have a great weekend and God bless.
