Garden in the High Mojave Desert

You could just treat it as the support medium and use drip hydroponics
to feed it - water would cost more than gold anyway, so you'd need to
close the water cycle.

Is "Japanese Knotweed" (Polygonium cuspidatum) edible?

Could it be genetically modified to be edible?

It's the only plant I know that would stand a chance being exposed to
hard radiation, a near total vacuum, no water and astronauts in big
boots jumping on it. I expect it's already thriving on the Moon from
micro-contamination from the Apollo landings. The Moon will shortly
turn green and develope an atmosphere. You just won't be able to move
up there for the damned shrubbery! ;-)

What about Rhododendron ponticum? :-)
