Some vegetable seeds that journeyed into space have taken root and started bearing fruit in Yanggao county of Datong, a major vegetable production area in Shanxi province.
In a greenhouse at the Hualian Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center, the space vegetables include tomatoes, okra, eggplant, giant pumpkins and red peppers.
Wang Shouming, a technical staff member at the center, said the space vegetable seeds were ordinary seeds that had been carried into orbit with a satellite.
