Loofah fruit at 3 weeks old.

Here’s an update on my first loofah fruit – it’s 3 weeks old (since pollination) and is currently 19 cm long. The plant keeps producing female flowers now and no male flowers. I guess it’s putting it’s strength into the developing fruit. Have fortified the ground with some compost and tiny bit of chicken dung (not at the same time) to help it along.
