It's pretty obvious this is going to be the only luffa on the plant this year. I've had so much fun with it that it's just fine with me. Next year I'll get them outside much earlier than I did this year. We had such a late spring and a cool summer that even the other fruits are like three weeks behind. The grape growers and a number of the other farmers here in CA are concerned for their crops. I should be able to pick the Luffa though with in the next month or so. As soon as the plants themselves whiter then it'll be ready to pick. whoo hooo
