Hi Renee,
My mother grew those when I was younger,
From what I remember they were relatively
easy to grow, like a squash
plant!!
The only problem I remember was the time
to peel the product. It was tough to peel...
They didn't peel like a banana!!!
Seemed tough to peel. Maybe we just didnt'
let it age enough, leave on the vine long enough to ripen???? Dunno??
But I remember having alot of fun with them.
I remember using them, all little rough????
But fun!!!
Maybe you'll have better luck in
growing it,
that produces an easier peeling sponge!!!
