(Peggy Mitchell, Charleston, South Australia) Luffa cylindrica seeds are available from www.greenharvest.com.au. It’s an annual vine for warm-to-tropical climates, and is killed off by frost. Your challenge will be having enough warm summer days to develop the fruit. A warm, sheltered microclimate will help, such as on a north-facing brick wall.
