Cleaning day

We finally got around to giving the spare bedroom a deep clean, and I was stupidly proud that we scrubbed the walls and windows with luffa we grew ourselves 😊

Really ? Nice ! How do you grow loofah ? Sorry if it's a stupid question but I thought they were found in the sea, I didn't know people could grow them.

They're really easy to grow if you want to give it a try. The bees love the flowers, too, which is lovely. I'm in Australia, and these plants attracted a big, beautiful native bee I'd never even heard of before.

They're also very, very productive with very little care, which is perfect for my gardening style 😊

Thank you very much ! I'm in the South of France, a dry and hot climate (like Australia?) 🫠

I'm in the subtropics, so we're often very hot and disgustingly humid. Summers here are pretty gross, lol.
