exotics


The seed of this loofah vine was planted in October.  It has taken its time to grow and I hope the warm weather will help it to be productive.  I would like to see a few of the fruits to develop for vegetables and a couple to grow to turn into bathroom sponge.  The loofa gourd is grown for its fruit and picked when young and I suppose it is also grown for the sponge market.


The seeds of this peanut plants were planted at the same time as the loofah in October.  It is growing at least.  I am waiting to see them flower after which the flower stalks will push downwards into the soil to form the peanuts.  I cannot wait to see my exotic plants produce.
