We've grown luffa in our school garden the past 5 years. We are in Central Missouri and they grow beautifully, the bees love the flowers! Our 4th graders use the luffa in gift bags with garden made lavender & mint bath salts for a fundraiser. In those 5 years, we've raised more than $5000.

I am in Fort Worth, Tx and I fell in love with luffa gourds last year. I started them from seed in April and by August had beautiful vines and flowers, but they did not set fruit until September and then grew crazy, huge luffas until the first freeze!

Can someone tell me what are some good vegetable plants to plant in the Spring in the South? Is it more productive to plant seed or plants?
Thanks
