Cultivation: Requires a long, warm growing season. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/early summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. The seed coat is hard and should be soaked in warm water for 24 hours or lightly scarified before sowing. Hill planting: Form soil into a 1-ft. diameter mound 3-4â tall. Space mounds 4-6â apart. On each mound plant 1-2 seeds. Row planting: See spacing info in chart. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Hand pollination may be necessary. Train to climb a vertical support for better air circulation, straighter fruit and ease of harvest. To process for luffa sponges, allow gourds to hang on the vine until they are fully mature and the skin dries and hardens. Remove skin and seeds.

good seeds

seeds arrived in good conditions. It will take another three months before we plant in NJ

Seeds great shipping not!

We got the seeds, but it took forever for them to even ship out for us to get. We thought, by reading the info before we ordered that they would be here in about a week, but it was closer to 3 weeks before we received them. Had we known it was going to take that long we would have ordered from somewhere else! We hope they come up good though!!
