Yes its a plant, a type of gourd actually . . . and yes I did know that and . . . no you can't eat it. I just want to try and make one.

A few days later and their hatching.

Hey hey, it's up and running (not literally)

Hello world, here I am. I'm green and looking for love.

I've been a bit lax with the Luffa, it's a slow grower and just plods along.

Spotted, a flower.

Things are happening in the garden today, the luffa plant has blossomed, ok, it's a bit shy I admit but it's there tucked away under a leaf.

The flower wilts, I'm making an assumption that if it got fertilised that the plump part behind the flower will turn in to a luffa?

Is it me or has the Luffa put on weight?
