Chickpeas are growing in lunar soil for the first time, but is this discovery the key to feeding astronauts on the Moon?

    I imagine they would grow taller, possibly faster

      That makes me think that we shouldn’t bring potatoes there. They’ll become too strong, unstoppable.

          Irish astronaut

          This made me ask “has there ever been such a thing?”

          The answer is apparently “not yet,” but Dr. Norah Patten will potentially be the first, sometime within a year or so.

          Kudzu isn’t as virulent as people think. It looks like it eats entire forests when seen from the highway, but it’s actually only covering the trees on the edge.
