Luffa

Don't know how this got in my seeds, but I think some luffa seeds mus have been in the heirloom mix that Lo got me form the Zittel Farm before it closed. I'm pretty sure they are Luffa. They look like big pumpkins on the vine and before they're cured. I can't make instruments out of them, but I plan to cure them (which, for luffas, involves cutting them into strips and soaking them in bleach) and give them as Christmas gifts. A lot of fruits are blossoming. This is the size of a football right now.

i am starting to get visions of you sending realllly sketchy packages in the mail, taped up sloppy in grocery bags. When people open them, out flops these strips of bleached luffa, like a octopus tentacle, slightly quivering.
