Luffa Seeds
These are Luffa seeds. If I read correctly, there are a lot of seeds in a fruit when it's ripe. It does resemble a bit like a watermelon seed. I was told that it taste bitter, though I have not tried eating it.

Luffa Melon
Believe it or not..that `gay' luffa plant of mine which never flowered or even fruit, after almost 6 months of torture watering, fertlising it...grew 1 decent fruit. It was either to eat it or to turn it to be a sponge. I decided to turn it to be a sponge for my body....so it was been hanging for the past 1 month already! I doubt I will have any fruit again. It is confirmed that the soil is infertile....LOL

Luffa - Sponge
When the fruit is mature, you can rip off the skin, wash it and it looks like this. Used for bathing and washing dishes. If the fruit is young, you can boil soup with it.

Chili
Age: 1 week
Maturity: 2-3 months
I bought a packet of chili seeds. They failed to grow. I got upset and snipped off a fresh red chili, stuff the entire seed stem into the ground. I was told it's hard to grow chili for it might need the bird to `cultivate' the seed. Well, these seedlings are growing beautifully w/o the bird....I suppose later .........:D
