I’ve seen literal fucking science YouTube channels imply they are sea creatures. SciShow to be specific. The narrator was talking about sea creature and said something like, “And your corals, sponges, luffas and such”. I was like, wtf? Even SciShow doesn’t know they are plants?
Any melon, gourd, or even most vine-based flowers I really recommend a simple automated irrigation mechanism especially in a hot climate because they are thirsty.
My HOA would have kittens. We’re not allowed to grow quote “vegetables” because they might attract bears. I’ve gotten away with mint and chives because they’re small and I can argue being confused (“herbs aren’t vegetables!”) but a trellis full of growing giant dangling luffa on my condo porch might be a bit much.
My dad grew tomatoes, loufas, and those decorative gourdes you turn into bird houses.
I can grow my own loufas!? The scratchy kind? Wait. Aren’t they sea creatures?
Yep you can grow luffa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luffa
What the fuuuuuck. It’s a CUCUMBER!? This is like an all-new Mandela Effect for me.

That does make me feel a bit better.
Yeah, they’re really cool.
My mind is legitimately boggled, no joke. Are they fussy to grow? I’ve been known to accidentally kill all plants.

I have no idea. Dad never complained about them and had a whole trellis of them.
Now they grow on trellises!? My night is upended. I will be researching for sure, thanks!
Tbh, I’d grow them myself except
