Plants are great for protecting our water! #DYK? Plants help filter and reduce concentrations of nutrients, heavy metals, pathogens and other pollutants from storm water runoff. #JustGrowIt #PlantsDoThat
Wayne Gale retweeted
#DYK? Whether produced through traditional #PlantBreeding, or through newer innovative breeding methods like #GeneEditing, all new plant varieties go through rigorous testing for safety and quality before their seeds are ever sold to farmers. #JustGrowIt

Way Cool video of astronaut hand pollinating hot peppers in space. #Tomatosphere, #DidYouKnow
I loved getting my hands on the pepper plants and pollinating them! I felt a much higher-than-usual level of focus compared to tending plants on Earth. Of course I played Red Hot Chili Peppers for them! 🌶 See why we are growing this complicated crop: go.nasa.gov/2YN8baW
