[i]Astronaut Peggy Whitson will initiate the next round of crops to be grown aboard the International Space Station today [Jan. 20]. For the first time, a Chinese cabbage variety named Tokyo Bekana will be grown in space. The cabbage was chosen as a good candidate because it is a quick growing leafy green that is rated highly from a nutritional and taste perspective. Whitson will act as the on-orbit gardener, tending to the cabbage for about a month.[/i]
