Tomatoes in Antarctica
At the Neumayer Station III in Antarctica, they have set up a high-tech growing area as part of the Eden ISS project. The idea behind the project is that if they can learn how to grow plants in hostile Antarctica, it will be the first step towards growing them on the Moon and Mars. They have just harvested their first salad and cucumbers.
According to a comment on their Facebook page "We grow different types of dwarf tomatoes. One has red fruits and goes by the number breed number F1 1202 and one has orange fruits and has the number F1 3469B." I have looked them up and F1 1202 is released by Vreugdenhil in the Nethelands. Their Facebook page has a video (in German) of their growing setup Last edited by Hatgirl; April 7, 2018 at 10:06 AM. |
