Space Veggies!

My brain is totally post-apocalyptic these days, so besides being addicted to Walking Dead, I'm also reading Seveneves. I spend a lot of time wondering how I'd deal with one of these situations.  I expect I'd be really useful if cowering & screaming are required.  

Anyway, NASA and the International Space Station have taken care of one important issue, which has come up in Seveneves: how to grow veggies in space?!  (The Martian also deals with this important issue.) Read more about the plant pillow here. Keep eating those veggies & have a great end-of-summer long weekend.
