I am in zone 5-6 and I see no frost in the future according to yahoo frost dates. Can I plant it outside yet?

They like warm temps....have you hardened it off so it's used to being out in the sun? If you have, then go for it...just keep in mind that you may have to cover if frost threatens. If you haven't hardened it off, then, by all means, start doing so...it should take about a week and then you should be fine to put it in the garden.

I grew louffa a few years ago. It was just soooo cool! I took some into
work to share with the guys w/kids. They were a big hit there too!
(I have a greenhouse so I grew them entirely inside so I can't give you
any advice there).
