A Quick Veggie Plant Update
Things are looking quite healthy. I’m leaving them outside for two and a half hours today. On Sunday I fertilized each at half strength. Please wish me well that I don’t trip and fall while moving them.
Did you know that luffa sponges are a type of gourd in the cucerbit family? Isn’t it amazing that these gourds harvested young are commonly eaten (similar to zucchini) either stir-fried or curried?

Those really are looking quite nice!
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous. You won't trip and fall moving them.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. Hugs. ♥
Darla, you definitely have a green thumb! Lovely photos, dear friend. And I did not know that about the loofah sponge! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, carry carefully.
ReplyDeleteI think my luffa is made from nylons.
Now, don't speak tripping and falling into existence. Trust your balance.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about a luffa sponge.
ReplyDeleteThe Hubby just mentioned that it would be great to grow vegetables, and I say, as I've said for years, 'yes, you growing vegetables would be great!'
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great. You have quite the green thumb. We grew loofahs one year, but didn't eat them. I dried them and was going to give them to family and friends, but I don't think I did it properly because they were not like the loofahs I see in stores. XO
ReplyDeleteI need one now to scrub the face, its at a stage with spring here and winter out that it needs a good scrub to get rid of a few flakes. I put three mater plants in pots to have some tasty maters. Last time I went with cherry just cause I love them but this yr I went with big boys. Plants themselves are looking so health and growing. I have a basil, and I had a rosemary but for some odd reason that did not make it. So, with that said, I need to get a rosemary, oregano and some spearmint. I lost all those over the winter.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart for your green thumb and your patience, Miss Darla. And yeah, be careful not to trip while carrying those!
ReplyDeleteAmazing to see all the meautiful and healthy plants, we're running a little behind with our planting at the moment, maybe this week we'll get into the veggie garden and see what's what! LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually have three tomato plants, a basil, spearmint, and rosemary. I have not picked up oregano and not sure if I will or lavender, prices are way to nuts.
