- Dual-purpose harvest - Pick gourds young (6 to 8 inches) to use like zucchini, or leave them to fully mature and dry for natural loofah sponges.
- Suitable for all experience levels - Straightforward to grow with the planting instructions included in the pack.
Growing Tips
- Start indoors: Sow seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last expected frost. Luffa needs a long growing season, typically 150 to 200 days to full maturity.
- Soil temperature: Seeds germinate best when soil is between 70 and 85 degrees F. Soaking seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting can speed sprouting.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after all frost danger has passed and nighttime temperatures stay above 50 degrees F.
- Support: Luffa vines grow vigorously and can reach 10 to 15 feet. Provide a sturdy trellis or fence for the vines to climb.
- Spacing: Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in rows 5 to 6 feet apart.
- Watering: Water consistently and deeply, especially during flowering and fruit set. Mulching helps retain moisture.
- Harvesting for sponges: Leave gourds on the vine until the skin turns brown and feels light. Peel away the outer skin, shake out the seeds, and rinse the fibrous interior.

Brilliant
Format: Hardcover
The First State of Being is a brilliant, highly readable middle grade book from the QUEEN of character-driven middle grade literature. This expansive sci-fi feels at once introspective and cinematic, leaping off the page like something made for a movie. This book will help young people and all readers reflect on our past and future as a human community, especially in terms of health advances, animal extinction, and the potential for technological development. It also highlights the love and fight in a mother and the need to view life through a positive lens by focusing most on the present, not our past or future.

Which Came First?
Format: Hardcover
Of course this won the Newberry award. From the first word, it reminded me of Donna Barba Higuera's The Last Cuentista. A plot so different and imaginative that you wonder how anyone could have thought of it and then carried it out. It's a story of a young boy who is trying to take care of the single mother who seems unable to take care of the family, through no fault of her own. It's a sci-fi fantasy. And it's a story of taking care of each other. At the totally satisfying end I found myself wondering about the chicken and the egg. Thinking I may have to read this one again to see if I can figure it out.

Well-written, twisty novel for middle school children
Format: Kindle
This is Kelly’s second Newbery Medal, the first being for *Hello, Universe* in 2018. Both are well-written novels for middle-grade children and should have a lot of appeal for that age.
It's the year 1999, early fall, an apartment complex in Delaware. 12-year-old Michael is worried that the Y2K bug will cause the collapse of civilization on January 1, 2000. He has been stealing cans of food to create an emergency stash under his bed. He has started a new school, and his only friends are the apartment complex maintenance man and his high-school-age after-school babysitter, Gibby. Michael’s father is dead, and his mother works long hours to make ends meet.
One day a strange kid shows up in the complex, dressed in unusual clothing and asking odd questions like, “What year is this?” It doesn’t take an experienced science fiction reader to suspect that this kid, Ridge, is from the future. He is interested in observing late 20th Century American culture. But he also wants Michael and Gibby to help him figure out how to get back to the future without interfering with the past and thus changing his own timeline. The 1999 part of the story is interspersed with notes about the future and the panicked dialog of Ridge’s family as they try to investigate what happened to him.
It probably doesn’t have many new ideas for adult readers, but it will be surprising and exciting for readers ages 12 and up
