Many called 'loofah' are man made and can be purchased for a lower cost. When a popular item really takes off, it's not uncommon for baby boomers to afix the name of the most popular brand to every item of the sort. For example, calling all vacuum cleaners 'hoovers'. Some might be loofah, but it'll usually be the dearer ones. :)

What's wierd is my grandma and I never hardened together, she had some problems so she couldn't walk, but if I had known her earlier in life we would have, she was sorta a hedgwitch sort so you know she had one hell of a garden in her day, she transformed the neighbhood with her plants, they would pop up for miles arround and I actually lived a while from their house and could still see the descents of her sweet peas growing in my yard (they grew in rows for whatever reason, all of them in east to west rows) sorry tangent but long post short this video warmed me inside in a way that I haven't felt since she passed

Kaye Kittrell | Late Bloomer Urban Organic Garden Show : what was the appropriate required frostless days to grow the loofa plant? I live in northern Ontario Canada, I am sure it is wishful thinking, but I had to ask. Great video, I was sure this was a sea plant, we learn something new every day.

@SandraLThomas64 7 лет назад

My son and I raised those also and also made homemade soap and gave out soap and a Loofa to the girls in the family for Christmas. He was so proud to make something himself

@Latebloomershow 7 лет назад

Why not directly buy the loofah seeds online? I recommend one bean for all of you, oil bean, in Chinese ,it is 东北油豆角. This is its image: images.app.goo.gl/Hk1Wj4s7ucm4RV576 . It is nearly 30cm long, 3cm wide . And very easy to get cooked. It is the best bean I met in my life. You can find its seed in alibaba website I think. Try this oil beans, they are super great beans.

I know. I miss out a lot, so busy making content and growing a garden, there is little time to cook. I'd love to try it again. I didn't succeed in getting vines last year. I hope you are enjoying my videos! Another workday video tomorrow!

We cook them in India as well. We make a variety of dishes based on which part of the country we are from. Also called ridge gourd, they’re very easy to digest and has a cooling effect.

In America if my mom said ok we’re having loofa for dinner I would litterally think she was kidding! That’s cool!

I always knew it was natural but never saw it in its vine. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed this video so much. Her voice is soothing, like a children's book.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Lol...Using loofahs all my life and had absolutely no idea that they grew on vines... Or that they "grew" at all... Wow. I love learning new things! Thank you so much for sharing.

In my Indian household, we only use this as a loofa. Even my great grandfathers used them. And the fruit is delicious to eat as well. My favourite is to have them fried in chickpea flour batter. Yum yum. 😋

I had NO clue loofas were grown like this! 🌈🌠 the more ya know.. I’m obsessed with gardening. I started with propagating arrowheads. I’ve moved onto flowers and now I’m trying peppers and melons. I cannot wait to try this. Thank you!

@Latebloomershow 5 лет назад

That's fantastic! I'm excited for you. Please let me know how your gardening goes. There is lots to learn from my playlists. I hope you check them out. ❣💗

@Latebloomershow 5 лет назад

I know, right?? I sold a bunch of them at a handmade bazaar in 2017. Still have a dozen of them. Have not had any success getting loofa started since my first try. Please subscribe and tune in for my next livestream on Sunday morning, 3/17, at 10:00 AM PST if you can. I have a nice community that joins.

It’s really refreshing to see something nice on RU-vid that doesn’t make me grumpy or confuse the hell out of me. LoL

@oliveb6318 4 года назад

Growing up we had these growing everywhere in our front yard. Veins back memories. We had figs, pomegranates, olives, palm tree and these loofa plants.

@romanticscents 5 лет назад

Wow That's amazing! All those loofahs from just 13 little seeds! wonderful! I can't wait to try growing these as well.. :) Great Video!

@sarahemmanuel4991 5 лет назад

The tender fruit can be cooked with meat. It's delicious. U can make soup. U can cook it as a vegetable and season it. It has lot of fiber and very healthy food.

@user-sx5vg1ii4g 5 лет назад

@MrsHeavencitizen 5 лет назад

I love cook loufa soup with peeled shrimps chopped, amaranth leaves chopped and some leaves of hot pepper ... Good smelt and good taste , we eat soup with rice.... Flowers can add to soup or stir fry with peeled shrimps , too .

@Latebloomershow 5 лет назад

OH MY!! That sounds wonderful!! I wish you could come and cook that for me. My friend Jacq and I tried to cook it when she was visiting but the loofas were too far along: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ModFf3Ed1c.html

@rosemarie20 5 лет назад

"leaves of hot pepper"? Do you mean that you can also cook the leaves of the hot pepper plant? I never knew that. What a great piece of information. THANKS.

My grandmother who lived on a mountain side in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, used loofa (Estropajo in Spanish) as a scouring pad as well as a wash cloth. Thanks Kaye.
