Help on growing Loffas

Hi all,
Has anyone grown the Loffa plant and produced a bath / shower sponge at the end result ?.
Any advice on germinating / planting times / feeding ect ect would be very much appreciated.
thanks
John

Do you mean Loofah / Luffa?

I doubt it can be grown here as it's a tropical or sub-tropical plant according to wikipedia:

Some other ornamental gourds might be possible according to this blog:
