There's not many plants more versatile than the amazing luffa. A spectacle of a yellow flower, and large dark green leaves, make this vine a beauty to plant on a tall fence - but not only can you enjoy its beauty, you can eat the leaves, eat the flowers, eat the fruit a day or two after it buds - or you can use the gourds to make a scrubbing sponge for your pots and pans, your skin, or your baby. You can also make beautiful and useful gifts from your luffas, or create a home business selling its sponges. We're writing a manual for growing, using, and selling your luffas. It will be published by Dally Press. Rich with photos from our own experiences, the book will be unique in that every reader will also gain access to a private section of this website which will contain updates and additional information. Here's a sneak peek at a photo slide show we'll keep in the special access section: Harvesting Luffas You can email us to reserve a copy now with no obligation.
