It's been a few years since I grew them, but it's about 6 weeks... we always just left them on the vine till the frost killed the leaves. The last pic, with the loofah that's only a day or two old, is eating size... common in Asian cookery, they're used like okra. Once they start producing, they'll usually keep going.
Hi, my name is Chris and I'm fairly new to gardening. I started in May of 2009 when a friend gave me some seeds from her garden. I dug up some ground near our swimming pool and plopped them in. I guess I never really thought they would grow. But they did. Now I'm hooked. Hope you are too!

i googled and it said 30 days... but i would assume it depends on your weather.
Wow- how very cool!
