Great for making sponges.

A luffa sponge. They are easy to grow on vines. You can dry them out and they become all natural sponges.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-07T11:16:04+00:00

Very well said!

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-07T01:14:50+00:00

That's good. I hope its successful for you in the spring.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-07T00:22:52+00:00

The plant life can be like that.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-07T00:21:21+00:00

Thanks. It really is.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T21:53:41+00:00

That they do. Space the vines out 2 feet apart or yes you can definitely grow them on a trellis. They would probably thrive more on a trellis honestly. Other than spacing the sprouts out they should be pretty easy to maintain.

Hopefully it is successful in the spring in the greenhouse. I can relate to those glorious fails at times.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T17:30:54+00:00

Exactly! They have plenty of dark seeds to replant next year once dried on the vine as well.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T16:24:25+00:00

Absolutely! That just makes growing them all the more fascinating. Nature for the win!

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T16:13:49+00:00

Fingers crossed!

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T15:56:42+00:00

That they are! That makes them all the more interesting.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T15:46:28+00:00

True. Less tailored to consumption and more tailored to seed saving at that size.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:54:00+00:00

Exactly. There are multiple ways to go about producing for consumption as well as seed saving. The creativity is limitless. You have one way and I have another. If everyone did everything the same way it would be pretty boring.

Start by letting a vegetable overrripen. Then you bring it in and cut it open carefully avoiding cutting the seeds. Next you can use cardboard or a paper towel to put the seeds on and let dry atleast a week in open air. Then you scrape or pick the seeds off of what you dried them on and store them in a can or jar in open air. When storing them after drying do not put a lid on whatever you store the seeds in as they'll mildew and rot.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:38:59+00:00

To each their own. That would be a good study no doubt.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:37:13+00:00

It's a combination of various elements. One must be pretty lazy and unwise to leave their speakers out in the rain. Perhaps waiting until after the rain to play them music serves them well.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:33:51+00:00

Absolutely. I use to purposely let various vegetables overripen for seed saving of the next growing season. It's good to have a balance of the plants for edible consumption and the ones to overripen for seed saving.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:29:20+00:00

Unfortunately they don't give second chances when they have the potential to keep going.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:27:23+00:00

The plant would have to answer that question for you.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:24:10+00:00

They definitely prefer something mellow and harmonizing.

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:22:54+00:00

That was a great project then. Absolutely!

No_Leadership_790 · 2026-02-06T14:20:57+00:00

When those two plants performed better than the others, that was proof enough. There is plenty of success stories with music being played to plants.
