I guess it depends on what we like. Luffa, esp. the long ridged is one of my favorite vegetables. But I sure agree with you on one thing-no I can't depend on luffa as a food crop. Last season 4 plants made more luffa than I could keep up with-but most years, I will get vines but no luffa. Sighs, the only thing I can really depend on is purslane! lol! But I only stand so much of it
anyway, thanks for the reply!
