Where there were eight, there are now seven as the last struggling seedling gave up. These will require individual pots in a matter of days. And a move to the Tiny Greenhouse!

On last night’s Gardener’s World, Monty Don was rather pleased about the size of his loofah plants. I was rather pleased too – because mine are larger (longer) than his. Mind you, he did say he’d only sown the seeds a month ago, so perhaps this segment wasn’t filmed this last week. Neither are any of his wearing a splint to straighten out a bent stem!

Four plants potted on into the next size up! Two went to my brother yesterday as part of his birthday present (for tomorrow) – with instructions! One wasn’t growing at all well, so went in the compost bin. Even those these four were all sown at the same time and in the same conditions, each germinated at different times and are growing at different rates.
After just a week in these larger pots, I had to organise the Tiny Greenhouse, and transplant them into their final pots.

They are fun plants to grow. Our plant is in its second year and it has produced some very large fruit, which I harvested and dried to make scourers. I’ll be watching the growth of your plants with interest.

Thanks. No-one mentioned they were perennials 😦

I think you will find that they will be annuals in a colder climate. I’m in the subtropics where we don’t get really cold winters.

Phew, thank goodness. I didn’t want to lose the greenhouse space 🙂

I’d say that’s a success so far!

Me too. But a long way to go until ready to harvest (November).
