 We have sponges!Sep 30, 2008
By Victoria
I didnt actually think we would get sponges out of this. I thought for sure that we would be making funny looking bird houses out of these, but sure enough-- we let the suckers turn color on the vines, and after cutting them off and letting them dry out, we peeled back the skin and found spongy material inside. The seeds just fell out, and we rinsed them, bleached them, and now we have cute little sponges to give for gifts or use at home. Prolific and wonderful. Once danger of frost is over, just stick them in the ground about 1 1/2 inch and water well and then ignore for about a month except for watering and you'll get a sprout. Dont even bother with seed starter mixes-- they'll rot.

Very fast grower, great producer, easy to growJan 10, 2011
By RedTex
This plant took over the whole back of my yard and vines grew 15'+ tall in trees nearby. Had to harvest with clippers on a 12' pole! Excellent producer, resistant to 100+ degree summer heat of coastal south Texas. Make sure you give this climber plenty of room when planting.
