I definitely was not an English major “tomato’s”

Can anyone say “Space Tomatoes?”🚀🍅 Veg-05 is ready for launch 🚀 So excited for @plantsinspace!! #veg05 #SpX26 😃😃👋🏼🌱🌱🚀🍅🚀🍅🚀🍅🚀🍅🚀🍅🌱🌱

Growing Beyond Earth 🌎 🌱 requires hard work, but also a little help from technology. Like an astronaut, I have a lot to do while in the lab. So, I employed an @arduino board to help me grow through. Here’s how it went down🌱@GrowBeyondEarth

@DowSpaceFarmers @NASA @GrowBeyondEarth @MidlandPS @TedDavis05 @plantsinspace @trentmsmith @getMARSfarm @APadolf Hey Dow!! I think you’re awesome!! I’m so happy I got to see your presentation. it was well rounded. I learn from you! 😃👋🏼

#DowHighspacefarmers presented their research on White LEDs in growing Space plants to @NASA scientists @GrowBeyondEarth Student Research Symposium today(4/29/23')! Great learning experience🌱🚀@MidlandPS @TedDavis05 @plantsinspace @JacobIkaros @trentmsmith @getMARSfarm @APadolf

@FelixVarelaHS @FairchildGarden @GrowBeyondEarth @AP_Trevor @SuptDotres @MDCPSSouth @NASAKennedy Soo cool I’m so sad that I didn’t make it. I love your pictures!! 😃👋🏼👋🏼

Our #APBio and #APCapstone students presented to #Nasa and @FairchildGarden scientists at the @GrowBeyondEarth Research Symposium on Saturday. 🌱🌱🌱 @FelixVarelaHS @AP_Trevor @SuptDotres @MDCPSSouth @NASAKennedy @JacobIkaros

My Hydroponic Banksy Jar🫙explodes lettuce on harvest day! We’re doing a 3D printed materials plant growth experiment at @NASAKennedy @plantsinspace and I make up a good team 🌱🚀 #nasa #3dprint #spacebiology #veggie #aph #controlledenvironmentagriculture #scientist #engineering

Growing Beyond Earth, Herbs #2 @NASAKennedy HARVEST!! They smelled soo soo good! They all grew great, but basil 164 overshadowed all the others! Here’s how I did it. Misome #2 is next! @GrowBeyondEarth

🌾For todays third installment of #SpaceFarmingFriday let's take a look at @SAICinc's great tribute to Dr. Ray Wheeler from @NASAKennedy who has been an incredible pioneer of off-Earth agriculture! 🚀

@mrs_tkearns @TheSpaceChileG1 Yay!! So awesome!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🚀🚀🌶️

@astrobotnerd Jacob Torres said to wear clothes that you can get dirty in when you visit @NASAKennedy 🌱🌱🌱🌱 See you and the Winston Salem Crew tomorrow! 😃👋🏼👋🏼

@LucasSa54749430 Not that I know of! What a great idea!!

Is there a study about ants and their benefits, aerator of the earth, myrmecochory, recycling vegetable waste with the culture of plants in the regolith? @JacobIkaros

This is an experiment that I was growing. Each cart had a different candidate irrigation system for microgravity and we grew the same plant to see how they compared to each other. These were Red Robin tomatoes that are currently growing in Veggie #Veg05 🚀 🍅

I think it’s cooler to see my plants and work in tweets and posts instead of myself. they always look 👀 good! 🌱🌱😃😃

These are pictures taken while I was an intern at @NASAKennedy. We filled Greenwerks with all kinds of plants 🌱 and experiments 🧫 that work led to my job as a horticultural scientist 👨‍🔬

@ddzejak Those were some of the first NUMEX Española Improved peppers we grew. Eventually they became the variety nasa grew in space during PH04. This picture is a little slice of space biology history! 👋🏼 😃

@teachonthemoon @cosmicrachael @NASASocial Those were the first we were able to germinate and grow after they came back to earth. I think they were on a turn table. 🌀 🌸

At the @NASA “Veggie Lab,” scientists and engineers replicate what the #astronauts do on the @Space_Station, but work on a two-day delay so they can plan to replicate any unforeseen circumstances. #NASASocial

@AbiluTangwa Very cool! 🌱

According to NASA's Clean Air Study,the Snake Plant is so Effective in producing oxygen that if you were locked in a sealed room with no airflow,you would be able to survive with just 6-8 plants in it. NASA recommends 15 to 18 medium-to large size plants for 1,800 square home.

Adding a little spice to life in space! #TBT to this experiment which cultivated chile peppers aboard @Space_Station for the first time. This and our other plant studies provide insight into growing food crops for long-duration space missions! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/2YN8baW

@andrewkearns64 @josemartimast @FairchildChall @GrowBeyondEarth @plantsinspace Wonderful results and presentation of!! I do Learn from you guys. Thank you so much for sharing

The results from @josemartimast HS are in for our @FairchildChall @GrowBeyondEarth challenge. Drum roll please! 🥁🥁🥁 We had a decrease in edible mass of over 50% & fewer than half the number of leaves from trial 1! 🤔🌿#StudentProducedTweet #mast2223 @plantsinspace @JacobIkaros
