Scrub a dub dub! Free luffa scrubbies and seeds available! One of SEEDS' favorite contributions to the Durham community is our commitment whenever possible to saving the seeds of the plants we grow. We package our collected seeds and offer them for free to anybody who stops by - come check out our selection any time! This year, a small pack of luffa seeds was gifted to a member of our community, and is being paid back in multiples! Luffa could at first glance be mistaken for giant exotic cucumbers - they grow as large, long squash plants (and are edible in their green form!). If you leave them on their vines, their exteriors turn brown and dry, at which point they are ready to be picked, hulled, and cut into the natural exfoliant scrubbies you might recognize. One small pack of luffa seeds grew into a half dozen plants, which have produced over twenty giant gourds filled with hundreds upon hundreds of seeds. Stop by or message us if you would like to try growing some of your own next year!
