It's Friday and I'm doing the happy dance because my Luffa Gourd vine finally flowered!
I planted this vine from seed (botanical interests) way back on March 1st 2008.
When I read about the real long growing season that Luffa Gourds need I was 
left feeling pretty hopeless that I'd ever be bathing using a home grown Luffa. But, now that I have an actual flower, I'm more hopeful. Still, it's already almost September, so I need this bad boy to move it along, STAT!
If you've grown Luffa Gourd before, I'd love to hear your story.

Create this gift from your garden in simple step by step directions how to carve and decorate a gourd. The illustrations show a lovely iris motif on the gourd.

Every year we have a few of these plants come up as volunteers somewhere in the yard, and often get a large harvest of gourds to decorate with. . . .

Special delivery Arizona grown and dried gourds:
Remember these bottle neck/bird house
gourds
growing on our pumpkin patch fence? We called DH's brother for some expert advice as we could not see how they would ever dry. Just about hopeless in the Pacific Northwest is what we all decided (see below). Brother M recognized the disappointed sound in my voice and surprised us with a nice variety of quality AZ dried gourds!
Washington grown and mostly rotting gourds, in the barn: 
And a few trying to dry in the house:
Thanks, Brother M! This is indeed better than my suggestion of mailing you our moldy, undrying ones.

These birdhouse gourds grow pre-decorated on the pumpkin patch fence. Now if they'll just get big enough for the birds to move in.
