Space-age salad!
Gardening is, in part, a science, and Suttons’ Lettuce Outredgeous is the very first plant to be grown from seed and eaten in space. For many years, NASA has been researching ways to supplement astronauts’ diets with fresh produce and, thanks to its ability to grow in low light conditions, this lettuce variety proved easy enough to cultivate on the International Space Station. £2.99 for 200 seeds or £7.99 for 22 value plugs, suttons. co.uk.
