Im going to grow luffa Loopah sponge in my garden

Im  growing some luffa or loofah  from seeds to put in my garden . Here is what the luffa or loofah  seed look like.
 Luffa  or loofah is a gourd. That when fully grown can be peeled  to reveal a sponge  and more seeds
The vine can climb up to 15 feet high. It a tropical vine from the cucumber family
                                           Here are what the seeds look like     

                                             I planted these on the 11th of the month


I planted these seeds in a green house flat .The ones you just add water and your seeds then just wait.
The green house planting flat comes with a top and soil disks that you just let set in water .The disk absorb the water and become soft and moist and you just push you seed down in the disks and it does the rest

 
                         
                                            Well I didn't have to wait long >>>>>>>


                        On the 16th of the month the seeds have sprouted wow in just  5 days
                                  
                                                See the sprouts peeking out of the soil disks
                                                          In just 5 days wow !!
