Met a local permaculture group and they had a seed swap last night. Was in a courtyard that had an alehouse selling only US microbrewery offerings. Live music from local folk bands and lots of plant talk, very cool.
So anyway picked up some seeds. Broccoli, cabbage, sweet pea, seminole pumpkin, giant peruvian corn and loofah. Can't wait to try the different seeds. Goint to need a bigger grow bed.

I just cleaned out a 2x6x1 bed because a loofah root plugged it solid.

Does it grow as a vine or bush? And were you able to harvest any sponges?

Has anyone tried key limes? Smaller and heavy nitrogen users seem like a good match.
