Luffa seeds

Sometimes known as sponge gourd, the luffa (or loofa) is probably best know for the bath sponges that are made from its mature fruit. In some parts of the world, however, luffas are equally prized as a vegetable, when they are braised or cooked in curries by Asians, Chinese and Thais. The plants are heat lovers and must be grown in a tunnel or greenhouse, however they are vigorous growers and will take over whatever structure they are grown in, shading out any other crop grown near by.
Seaspring seeds
Sea Spring Seeds specialises in chillies, and sells around a hundred different varieties, everyone that we feel is worthwhile, being interesting, flavourful and/or intriguing in some way. The chilli varieties range from very mild to the superhots; from tiny fruit to enormous ones; from miniature plants to ones capable of growing up to 8 ft tall! Many we sell are unique to Sea Spring Seeds, developed through our chilli breeding programme on our our nursery in West Dorset. Dorset Naga, one of the hottest chillies in the world, was one of our first varieties. Being tomato lovers, we have also sourced seed of an extensive range of the very best varieties of tomatoes. These include some of the best tasting tomatoes there are, as well as those displaying a whole range of different types, shapes and colours.
