Currenty taking part in OU experiment to grow seedlings in volcanic ash as analog for moon regolith, three have popped up in my 4cm pot! Pot is geodegradeble volcanic ash. @OU_STEM #Plantymoonplantface

@OU_STEM The moon plants are now three weeks old and 14cm high. Still no idea what they are. Any ideas? @OU_STEM #plantymoonplantface

@OU_STEM Will seedlings grow in volcanic ash as analog for moon regolith? I think the answer is a resounding yes! They are 6.5cm high now, but still no idea of what they are

[Fiona Durham @FionaLibrary]

@BetaRaddish @OU_STEM hi, it is mostly to see if they will grow in volcanic ash, but there are also lots of other pots out there and the results will be collated
