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
