Get nature's own skin-exfoliating sponge or a tasty baby veg all in one. Luffa melons are easy to grow, and they're quite tasty and tender when picked young, as you would with baby marrows. Leave them to mature and dry on the vine, peel them, and you will have your own, home-grown luffa sponges, ready to use in the shower or as a handy, non-abrasive dish scrubber.
