Wait…. what?? I thought it came from the ocean. Nope. Luffa is in the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae, also called cucurbits) and grows similarly to a winter squash. If harvested young, it tastes like a summer squash, and if left on the vine to mature it can be used in the bathtub. Go figure. What Is Luffa Plant? Luffa, also known as loofah, vegetable sponge, or dishcloth gourd are often grown for the fibrous flesh of the mature luffa gourd. These gourds can grow to 2 feet long and 7 inches in diameter. If you want to eat the luffa, it is best harvested when less than 6 inches long. Young luffa is delicious in stir-fry and tastes similar to a summer squash. Where Does Luffa Grow? Growing luffa takes a lot of time and patience. Luffa needs from 150 to 200 or more frost-free warm days. Luffa requires plenty of sun, warmth, consistent water, and a large trellis. Not all climates have a sufficiently long (and warm) growing season to grow luffa successfully. In USDA Zones 7 and higher, luffa seeds can be started outdoors. Zone 6 growers should start seeds indoors. It is not recommended for zones below Zone 6. How to Grow Luffa Plants Plant luffa seeds in full sun with rich soil as soon as any danger of frost has passed. The seeds may take up to 14 days to germinate. The young vines are susceptible to weeds and pests. Luffa produces a vigorous vine long before it produces first male flowers, and then finally female flowers, so be patient! A large vine is necessary to support large gourds. Allow luffa to mature on the vine to produce the maximum amount of fibrous flesh. The gourds do not tolerate freezing and should be removed from the vine immediately after the first frost or they will rot. How to Harvest Luffa If you are growing for the luffa “sponge”, leave the gourd on the plant until it feels lightweight and the skin begins to shrivel and turn yellow. It’s best to peel it at this stage, when the skin is easily removed. Cut the luffa from the vine and cut off one end, and shake out seeds. (Save the seeds from your largest luffa to share and plant next season.) Cut off the other end, roll the luffa on a table to loosen skin, rip skin apart at seam, and remove all skin. Let luffa dry completely in the sun before storing to prevent mold. How to Use Luffas Use a luffa sponge in the shower, kitchen, or scrubbing around the house. When using a luffa, let it dry completely between uses to prevent bacteria build up. Use a luffa sponge for 3-4 weeks and then toss it into the compost bin. Luffa can be stored for several years if kept dry and dust free. It’s best stored in a box or cloth bag.

It’s well known that during the Victorian era, people used flowers as a way of sending secret messages to one another. Particular flowers had meanings associated with them, allowing an interested suitor to express his love and admiration without seeming to bold or forward. But did you know that herbs also have a language all their own? I’ve often said that if I could grow just one type of plant for the rest of my life, it would be herbs. They are easy to grow and have such a wide variety of uses, from cocktail garnishes and salad additions to teas, tinctures, salves, and aromatherapy. Knowing that they each have an associated meaning only makes them more endearing to me. But how to use them according to their meanings? Why, I’m glad you asked. First, here’s a list of herbs and their secret messages, plus a roundup of ways to incorporate them into our more modern lifestyles. And if you’re interested in the meanings behind their floral counterparts, check out our article “The Language of Flowers.” Angelica: inspiration Lilac: joy of youth Basil: love Lovage: strength Bay laurel: success Mint: virtue Calendula: health Oregano: joy Chamomile: comfort Parsley: gratitude Echinacea: capability, health Rose: love, desire Fennel: worthy of praise Rosemary: remembrance Hops: mirth Sage: wisdom Hyssop: cleansing Thyme: courage Lady’s mantle: comfort Vervain: good fortune Lavender: devotion Violet: loyalty Lemon balm: sympathy Yarrow: healing Well Wishes: Is someone you love ill, recuperating from an accident, or going through a tough time? Customize a small bouquet of herbs for them to express your thoughts. Start with some colorful flowers, then tuck in calendula or echinacea for health, Lady’s mantle for comforting, lemon balm for sympathy, or yarrow for healing. Add a note that explains the meanings, along with recommendations on how to brew a cup of tea with the herbs. Weddings: Weddings are joyous occasions that typically incorporate a tremendous amount of flowers and other plant material, from the bouquets and boutonnieres to table decorations and guest favors. Why not add some herbs in to create secret messages of love and joy? Basil, lavender, oregano, rose, and violet all have lovely meanings that are appropriate for the day. Have a loved one who has passed and you’d like to remember them at the wedding? Tuck sprigs of rosemary into a special arrangement with a photograph nearby. Special Occasions: It’s common to send flowers for other occasions like a new job promotion, moving into a new house, graduation from college, or the birth of a child. Commemorate these milestones by adding in bay laurel, parsley, vervain, angelica, and myrtle. Contemplation: Use herbs for personal use as well, to remind yourself of virtues and qualities that are important to you, particularly during tough times. Create small vases of chamomile, thyme, yarrow, parsley, rosemary, Lady’s mantle, and fennel as a way of keeping special thoughts and words close by. Ready to infuse your garden with meaning? Explore the language of herbs and discover their secret messages. Find Kellogg Garden Organic products at a store near you today!

Part of the fun of gardening is sharing the bounty of your organic harvest with people you love (or at least like enough to be sociable with), and now that the holidays are right around the corner, now is the perfect time to plan those gifts out! Here are some of my favorite holiday gifts from the garden — some of these I’ve created and gifted before, and others have been on my well-meaning to-do list for several years now. Maybe this is the year I do them all! Holiday Gift Ideas: Personalized Preserves Give the gift of organic during the holiday season by sharing your preserved organic harvest with your loved ones. Whether your garden is big or small, make the most of your space with these tips and watch the full Holiday Gift Ideas: Personalized Preserves video on the Kellogg Garden Youtube Channel. Preserved Fruits & Veggies: Nothing is easier than this because you probably already have it done! Did you have a bumper crop of tomatoes, peppers, or figs? If you’ve already preserved your harvest in mason jars, simply add a pretty holiday-colored ribbon around each jar and finish with a homemade label. And don’t forget the canned salsa that you made — package it up with a bag of gourmet chips, and your friends will love you forever. Plant Starts: This is a non-food gift for another gardener on your list. Do you have extra agave pups, iris bulbs, perennial divisions, or wildflower seeds from your garden? Put them in a cute box or envelope and gift them to someone who needs more plants. You know your neighbor has been eyeing your sedum, don’t you? Time to spread the love and tidy up your garden all at the same time. That’s what I call a win-win. Herb Mixes: After drying your herbs, package them individually as gifts in small jars, or combine several to make tasty herb mixes that are ideal for cooking. Dried onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme — do a quick Internet search on delicious combinations, then package away! Infused Liqueurs: I’ve done this one several times over, and it’s always a hit! Use the recipe of your choice by adding berries, herbs, fruits, peppers, and even garlic and peppers to vodka, gin, tequila, or rum. There are a ton of instructional videos and articles online, and it’s easy and inexpensive to do. Add a festive ribbon to the bottle and you’re good to go! Flavored Oils & Vinegar: You’ll want to check out specific recipes for these gifts, but the basics are the same: simply add herbs to olive oil or vinegar, allow to steep for the appropriate time, then strain the herbs out. The result is a delightful but typically subtle flavor blend that is fun to experiment with in the kitchen. Share The Garden Love
Sprouts, Microgreens and Baby Greens: Tiny Food with a Big Nutritional Punch Tiny food alert! While anything in a tiny, micro, or baby size is adorable, when it comes to food, it’s irresistible. And even more than that, tiny plants like sprouts, microgreens, and baby greens pack a nutritional punch that few other plants can rival. But, what’s the difference between these three? They can’t be all that different, right? What are these little plants, anyway? Sprouts, microgreens, and baby greens are all normally-occurring stages in plant growth, and there are different reasons why you’d want to harvest a plant at the sprout stage as opposed to the baby greens stage. These plants start as seeds, then sprouts, followed by microgreens, baby greens, then finally, mature plants. Here’s how you can tell the difference. Growing Microgreens: From Seed to Harvest In One Week In this video, Resh Gala, an urban organic gardener in New Jersey - Zone 6b, teaches us how we can start growing microgreens at home. Whether your garden is big or small, make the most of your space with these tips and watch the full Growing Microgreens: From Seed to Harvest In One Week video on the Kellogg Garden Youtube Channel. Three Plant Stages: 1. Sprouts. All the nutrients a plant needs are stored in the seed, and when the seed has the right conditions of soil, moisture, and light, it puts all its energy into developing its stem, roots, and first leaves. It’s a sprout! Sprouts have a stem and two “leaves” that aren’t actually true leaves but things called cotyledons. These sprouts are rich in essential nutrients, easy to digest, an excellent source of enzymes, and high in protein. The sprout stage is usually 5-7 days after germination (harvested at 4-6 days) with growth that is a little shorter than microgreens. Hot new plants to sprout include: Radish Broccoli Clover Sunflower Bean Pea 2. Microgreens. Between the time the plant develops these cotyledons and up to when it grows to develop its first set of true leaves, it’s in the microgreen stage. Microgreens typically take up to 14 days to grow (harvested at 1-2 weeks) and are 1-3” in length. And the nutrition level? As much as 40 times higher than their mature counterparts! Their flavor is more intense as well, so remember that when adding microgreen radishes or cabbage on top of your salad. Common microgreens include: Kale Basil Cilantro Beet Greens Arugula Chard Watercress Learn how to plant these microgreens here. 3. Baby Greens. Baby greens have developed their first two true leaves, but are harvested before they are fully grown. They are not mature plants, just tiny versions of fully grown kale, broccoli, and sunflowers. They, too, are more nutritious than their fully grown versions, ready to harvest at 15-40 days depending upon the plant type. They are more tender, instantly bite-sized, and fairly evenly nutritionally matched with mature plants. Many gardeners harvest their greens at the “baby green” stage because, to be honest, they prefer the taste and texture. I’m not knocking kale, you understand, but mature kale is pretty hard-core unless you’re throwing it into smoothies. Popular baby greens: Kale Spinach Arugula Nearly any leafy green you can grow Wondering what to do with these tiny plants? Enjoy them in sandwiches, on salads, in juicing and smoothies, and as garnishes on anything that gets served on a plate. Share The Garden Love

r/antiwork is trying to flood Kellogg's applications system after the company announced it would replace 1,400 striking workers.
According to their timeline, Kellogg's first used the Kellogg's name about May 1st, 1907. So "Happy 105th Birthday" to the Kellogg's product name. Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flakes were produced in 1906 "Production of Kellogg's Toasted Corn Flakes™ begins at W.K. Kellogg's newly formed Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flakes Co. " Flaked cereal had been accidentally invented by a couple of Kellogg brothers in the mid 1890s as a food source for the diet regimen of Seventh Day Adventist vegetarians and served to sanitarium patients. Kellogg's Corn Flake boxes in the mid 50's boasted the artwork of Norman Rockwell "I bin robbed" March 7, 1955 Life Magazine "'tain't funny, McGee" April 18, 1955 Life Magazine "Me and my big heart" May 16, 1955 Life Magazine "Everybody's always running out of Kellogg's Corn Flakes" June 13, 1955 Life Magazine "The morning sun shines on more bowls of Kellogg's Corn Flakes more than any other cereal" March 12, 1956 Life Magazine I don't have any 1957 Kellogg's Corn Flake ads, yet but in 1958, Norman Rockwell is no longer the box cover art. "All the good things Nature puts in to corn . . . you get out of Kellogg's Corn Flakes" February 10, 1958 Life Magazine "We wrote our name all over our new packages so you'd be sure of getting the real thing . . . Kellogg's Corn Flakes the best liked, most eaten cereal in this whole hungry world" March 17, 1958 Life Magazine May 5, 1958 Life Magazine "The best to you each morning" The rooster mascot is named "Cornelius" (Corny) - he first appeared in 1957 according to the timeline link above.

If you want to be taken out in the evening, don't run out in the morning" February 2, 1959 Life Magazine April 6, 1959 Life Magazine In my opinion there's something Rockwellian about the photoshoots for some of these ads.
