Last year I had 4 luffa plants in the garden, and a late frost killed 3. I got 1 (ONE!!) luffa out of the whole experiment.
I'm trying again, because, well, why not?
I'm growing Purple Coneflower and New England Aster for my honey bees. Those bloom late summer/early fall, when not much else is in bloom and the bees are still hungry.
