FREE: Luffa seeds

The listing, Luffa seeds has ended.

Don't you hate spending all that money for body sponges and luffas ? Why not grow your own ? These are authentic luffa seeds from my gmo free luffas I grew this year .
Things luffas are good for . Scrubbing pots and pans, your body , pour homemade soap over it for a great foot or hand scrubber . Really luffas can replace all your plastic body scrubbers ( that fall apart) and All you kitchen scrubbers. Once you get one luffa you will have seeds for the next year . I planted 5 seeds and have over 30 luffas to use over the next year..
I think everyone can grow luffas so here is the instructions to harvest and use them .

Harvest luffa sponges when they have matured on the vine, usually around the end of fall. Look for lightweight fruit with dry, dark yellow or brown skin. Leave the fruit on the vine as long as possible, but remove all luffa gourds immediately after the first frost or they will begin to rot.


If the gourd is dry, striking the luffa pod against a hard surface will loosen the skin and seeds. Slightly crushing the sponges can also loosen the skin. This is especially helpful for peeling less mature luffa with hard green skin. The skin will normally fall off easily if the luffa is fully mature


The bottom tip of the gourd can be cut off and many of the seeds can be shaken out before peeling. Use your thumbs to find a loose spot along a seam. Push in to create a tear and pull apart the skin. Tear up the seam. Try to get all the skin off as little pieces left behind tend to turn brown.


Apply water pressure from a hose sprayer to remove most of the sap color. It washes out many seeds also. Washing with soapy water in a bucket and then spraying is another option. Squeeze and shake out excess water. If your luffa fiber is very dark, or has many dark spots, soaking in a bucket of water with one cup of bleach for 3 to 5 gallons of water will remove most stains. Don't bleach longer than necessary. Rinse well.
