🌿 From Seed to Sponge: My Loofah Growing Guide + Cattle Panel Trellis

I think loofahs might be one of the most fun things I grow. 💚

They start out as these little seedlings, turn into vines that seem determined to take over everything in their path 😂, and eventually give you something you can actually dry, peel and use around the house.

So for today's Bradwood Farm Gardening Library, I put together a new printable all about how I grow loofahs here on the farm.

🌱 Starting the seeds
🌱 Transplanting and spacing
🌱 Growing them vertically
🌱 Using a cattle-panel trellis
🌱 Training those crazy vines
🌱 Knowing when they're ready to harvest
🌱 Drying, peeling and cleaning them
🌱 Turning the finished loofah into natural sponges
🌱 Plus a few of my own growing tips

And the timing of this one isn't an accident. 😉

This Sunday on Homegrown Passion, I'm taking you out to the garden for our new loofah, melon and potato video. You'll get to see how everything has grown and how that cattle-panel trellis is working now that the loofahs have really taken off.

And my Behind the Greenhouse Door Tier 3 members get something extra Saturday night — I'm posting a special behind-the-scenes video before Sunday's YouTube release. ❤️

So download your How I Grow Loofahs printable below, tuck it into your Gardening Library, and then come back this weekend because you're going to see these vines in action.

I can't wait to show you how they've turned out. 🌿
