Hi saw you mentioned that you are growing luffa, may i ask how you went about doing so ie inside/ out, sowing times etc. i have some saved seeds from the west indies, and would like to try growing them next year.
thanks in advance for reply,

If it's the same as loofah, I tried them this year. I bought 3 seedlings at a sale, potted them on and kept them indoors until they got too big. I planted them outside and they just sat there doing nothing. I think they would need a very hot sunny summer to grow outdoors or a greenhouse/conservatory.
HI
I'm definitely no expect so nothing technical about my approach!
Sowed the seeds late august becaus I had forgotten them. They have since been in a very warm polytunnel / green house, except for a couple that got left outside early sep when it was getting cold before the summer started. These ones died.
I have just been watering them as needed and leaving them to get on with it. The survivors are a few inches tall although seem to have stalled in the last week & half, I am going to bring them inside as it should be warmer.
Will try and keep you updated on progress.
Ren
thanks for both replies will sow some in the spring and pray for a hot summer :D
