Luffa. I did rather badly on these until last summer. I planted the seeds in the ground in a small area where I grow squash and, I wish, edible gourds and I let them climb on a lattice. The Luffas managed to hide their fruit rather well so they were long past the edible stage by the time I found them. The consequence is that I have two 18 inch fruits drying in my storage area and no idea how to make them into sponges. I gather that I should have peeled them at the end of the summer. Of course almost none of the squash produced.
