Luffa or Loofah, not sure of the actual correct spelling, Google is no help on this. However you want to spell it, I'll go with luffa, it's amazing. I, like many others, believed it was a sponge and it is, but it's both a vegetable and a sponge.. so, no, it doesn't grow in the ocean. They grew right here on our farm. Actually, ALL of this is from 3 seeds! It all started with some seeds a friend gave me. She said they are pretty easy to grow, they love sun and pollinators love
