Roll: 1104B


1. The rutabega in the NE corner of Mars Base Zero
look great, but they failed to produce any crop.

2. Cauliflower is getting big!

3. Rubarb Swiss Chard is doing great! I couldn't eat it as
fast as it was growing.

4. Great looking rutabega, but no crop.

5. The beets grew fairly well, but the roots were generally
small and poorly developed.

6. Some odd cabbage.

7. Wheat harvest. Heads of grain in the tray, straw in the
lower left and uncut wheat to the right and in the background.

8. The last remaining live potato plant.

9. Sunflower plants. Kitchen with clock in the far
background, power panel behind sunflowers.

10. Square D potatoes, which were mostly killed by
frost on 9/4/04.

11. Square C with turnips, potatoes, wheat and cabbage.

12. Square E with carrots and other crops.

13. The potatoes of square B, after the frost killed
most of them.

14. The lightly frosted potatoes started growing new
leaves, but reducing daylight did them in before they
got very big.

 

15. Sorting the wheat to calculate grains/head and
yield.

16. I dug a hole...

17. Laid the potato plant in it...

18. Watered it heavily...

failed; the plant did not form new tubors in the ~ 1 month it was
left in the ground.

tomatoes.

21. Looking down on square F: water containers,
sunflowers, preplant trays, buckets and other planting equipment & plants.

and rutabega as well as cauliflower and cabbage.
