Bottle gourds (Calabash) & Luffa Sponges grown on a Tower Garden. 🌱💚
Most people assume that luffa sponges come from the sea 🌊, however it is actually a vegetable 🌿!
Bottle Gourds belong to the same family as luffa sponges known as Cucurbits (which also includes cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, and zucchini/courgette).
Bottle Gourds have been used since ancient times for a wide variety of uses. Aside from being edible, Bottle Gourds are traditionally dried and then used as storage containers, bottles, instruments, and decoration.
If you want to elevate your Tower Garden to the next level, grow these two stunning vegetables and you are guaranteed not to be disappointed.
Curcubits love to crawl and it is necessary to have a grow cage in order to give support for the vines that sprawl out in all directions.
