Author	Topic:   What does moon cabbage taste like?
Drakens Member	posted 04-18-2008 10:50 AM             A little like chicken. Just kidding! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/earth/2008/04/17/scimoon117.xml Scientist says that he can grow marigolds in "moon" soil. The picture shown, those are some sorry looking marigolds. There's a difference between growing and growing well. quote: As well as marigolds, he says that tulips, cabbages and arabidopsis (a weed, the most studied plant on the planet) could be grown on the moon. Tulips are handy because they can be frozen, transported long distances and grown with little nourishment. Combined with algae, an enclosed artificial atmosphere and the bacterially enhanced lunar soil, they could form the basis of a precursor lunar “ecosystem.” If you're going to dream, dream big.
