For the green one, if you put slits in them around the husk then bake them for 30 minutes at 200°, it will come right off. Then you let them dry in the oven more after the cool down or hang dry them! :)

[@Fatimasroots]

It’s so lovely that you’re showing others what they can grow! I hope to inspire others to do the same with my garden videos🌿🌸 thank you for your inspiration!

[@theburtonteam-realtors500]

I'm so happy that I watched this. Rainy day in Florida, I've binged your channel most of the day.

[@rebeccaspratling2865]

I would have been outside in the rain. 😂 But this is an amazing channel to binge. 😊

[@teeteepimentalrogers4386]

Hello, new sub here. I'm not a homesteader or a gardener, but I came across your recent videos, and I am absolutely in awe of you. The things you accomplish in a day are exhausting to watch! 😮 You're adorable and strong as an ox. I hope you one day get your dream land and I can't wait to see what you'll do with that! You're amazing! Much love from Rhode Island. Terry 🙏♥️💯

[@jackiek4159]

I didn't know that you could grow your own sponges! This is so cool! 😍🙌

[@samseddie01]

alright I'm gonna harvest mine. you inspired me but I only got 2 :) oh well

[@karenwadlin1761]

It’s a start!!

[@rebeccaspratling2865]

Better than zero. 😊

[@therealzuluking]

I grew Luffa this year and last week I successfully pollinated 2 and one today!! Can't wait to harvest 🤝🏾 It's 3 stories high and growing 😂😂😂

[@lindseythompson2108]

Blanket stitch would make a good edging just search. Really enjoyed seeing how to make the sponges.

[@vivianaosorio3250]

This is the world’s GD BEST LUFFA. I use nothing else. Simple dried out zucchini 🥰 nature’s best truly

[@jayneeburks8482]

Another thing I have not grown. I am inspired! 😁

[@MW-rb3ny]

We grew these this year. It was so fun!

[@pauly0169]

I have about 4 growing right now, racing against time here in Wisconsin. Hope the weather holds out long enough

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I'm so glad you shared this! I've often wondered how you turn those long, odd looking 'fruits' into sponges! I this I might give it a go next year. How many seeds did you plant?

[@richelleg225]

I definitely want to grow luffa next year!

[@Dirtgranule98]

Very beautiful, I love nature, plants and everything in nature

[@toddmiller1753]

Ok so those are like the ones you see in bath and body store thing? So cool I never knew you could grow them! I'm starting to plan my 1st garden ever for this coming season, these will be on my list, thank you so much for the info!

[@MM-qk8eg]

This helped a lot. Thanks for the instructions

[@enersaveltd]

Love this! I grew loofah for the first time this year and I’m excited to try and make these. I wonder if maybe baking the green ones at a low temp would help with peeling the skins or putting in a dehydrator? Hmmmm

[@sherry2836]

What a fun project! Are they soft enough to use on your body? Definitely a great "homegrown, handmade" 'gift idea !

[@itsbreellis]

Yes they are!

[@TheCornDavis]

Yeeeees another video! Lets gooooo! I absolutely love loofahs! They are the only sponge that works well for me in bathing

[@pomroy65]

these are beautiful! I never knew you could make them flat like this by cutting the loofah! Thank you!

[@Rural-UrbanDivide]

This was such an amazing tutorial, I'm sold! Totally trying to grow some next year!

[@debbiemullins9614]

Thank you

[@emekasearthgems3376]

I love this! Thanks for sharing 💜

[@striketochill]

Yay thank you for this video!!! Awesome!!

[@mariacristinacunha5789]

Amazing!! 👏👏

[@rebeccawatson9284]

Awesome ❤

[@linesbylisa3557]

That’s amazing! I’m going to have to grow them! Is didn’t know they had so many uses.

[@christytschappat2592]

Thank you for granting my request in making this video. I had no idea! This video was very interesting. I always wondered how they were processed. And the soap… how neat. How long do these stay fresh? ❤❤❤❤

[@go-healthy8132]

Sooo cool 🙏👍😘😘😘

[@veronica8939]

This is very famous in Bangladesh. Most of us use this as loofa. It's called "dundoler khosha" in Bengali❤

[@SeareanMoon]

I want to try growing them one year! plan to start indoors early (Alaskan here) so it has a chance to brown :p

[@mayuribezborah7524]

1:4 how much is vinegar??

[@meganlugg5571]

Hi Bre, growing Luffas for the first time. Can they be used in the bottom of nesting boxes?

[@riverrootsfarm]

I found you on Insta but I’m definitely subscribing here too! I’m so glad I watched the full tutorial for this bc the addition of the soap bar is genius! I will definitely give this a try :)

[@specialkthesoftballgirl]

Can I ask when you plant your luffa seeds? Do you start them indoors/in pots or just sow them outdoors?

[@brajo2719]

Hi Bree, Bro here from India, Bangalore. As most, I too watched your video with absolute care and I'm excited to do something what you have done. Since you are experienced, could you guide me how do I colour bleach the vibe dried brownish loofah. By the by, you are from which country and where is your farm house. Looking forward ❤

[@user-kn4mm8tx6y]

We found heaven,you heaven on earth.i need luffa seed.shamim✌💚👏🦋

[@debdcampbell]

I am just finding your channel! Love the style. Do you sell any loofah seeds

[@robgonzalez129]

Hi I am going to start growing loofahs the spring. Do I have to worry about rodents? Any idea on how to keep them away?

[@sandrazuchara3270]

Do you grow a specific variety?

[@shalaperez9205]

Where is kansas are you growing?

[@flaviaconde112]

Do you know you can eat them when they are young?

[@olgavitiuc3357]

I never grew loofahs and know nothing about them, but is it possible to dry them off the vine? Like, if you hang them in the basement or a garage so they don't get rained on, will they dry, or will they rot? ETA: also, is it loofah, or luffa? :)

[@itsbreellis]

It can be spelled either way! I tried to dry a few last year in my basement and even with good airflow they got moldy. I plan to try out drying a few different ways this year to see if I can figure something else out

[@olgavitiuc3357]

@@itsbreellis Good luck! Share your results with us please :)

[@folksagabookart]

I tried growing these for the first time this year but I got nothing from them. This summer has been mostly rain though, extremely rainy. So that might be why.

[@mitchducky962]

[@handmadeschwan]

This is one of the coolest things ever i think. Like what??? You can ... GROW your own sponges? The fact of this possibility is so cool. I tried last year but none of my seeds sprouted. Im gonny try again this year, already ordered them but it might be too late in the season already to start 🙈 but im still gonna try it out. Every year now
