Yes the seeds were shipped to me from Malaysia. Email me for the link to the eBay listing. The seller is "seedsgarden". They grow well in warm/humid/wet/semi-sandy soil.

I'm growing Luffahs this year and I have a bunch of them growing! I couldn't find them for the longest time because the fruits looked just like the vines. Finally I found a bunch of the squashes growing behind leaves and I am soooo excited! I'm really hoping to make luffah soap in the fall.

they would grow great here in Louisiana!! It's sooooo hot and humid here! Humidity is around 80% and temp is 90-105

Only thing is, a hurricane (Earl) is coming through on Thurs. and could destroy my precious Fuzzy Wuzzy Melly Welons!

Ahhhh, Harvest Time! Success!! Yummy!

I added the cut melon to some Moo Goo Gai Pan from a Chinese Restaurant. It was great!
