VIDEO: I TRIED TO GROW A LOOFAH (LUFFA) IN THE UK #gardening #gardeninguk

We do grow them here. Our climate is much warmer than yours. We mainly grow them for a food crop. I noticed on the seed packet it did mention that. Better luck next year. Best wishes Bob.
Like you Adam, I like to try something different but it usually fails on me. This year your sis and I are trying Xmas spuds. At the moment they are looking fine so we are hoping for the best. See you soon.
Lmao, I was thinking the same as what you said!!!! Ummmmm…..not sure what the market is like for loofah's pal, lol. Best of luck next year brother. #cleanballsack2022
You did better than me this year, mine hardly grew past their first leaves before keeling over and I'm in central France!
Aw, what a shame, Adam. Mind you, your index of confidence never really got off the mark from the start, LOL. Better luck next season, buddy.
Last year was my first year trying to grow luffa and my results were similar to yours Adam. I tried again this year with 3 plants per arch in 2 different areas of my garden. They grew slowly at first but by late-July they had covered half the arches with leafy vines and flowers. At the moment there are 6 monster and 4 medium sized luffas to be harvested. Wishing you similar success for next year!
Hi Adam, An interesting experiment but I don't think the climate here will ever mean success with outdoor planting. Never tried growing loofahs myself, but my old gardening books describe them as stove annuals needing a minimum temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Still, with a long hot summer who knows!
Hi Adam, nice to see you back. Maybe you could try a temporary green house by using some plastic . Cheers
A great idea! Sorry it didn’t work out!
Hi mate. Shame the Loofah didn’t get to a decent size. They probably need a long season. Take care. Nick
