After the Apollo landings they tried growing seeds in a "soil" sample
and I gather it was successful. There's nothing poisonous in it.
If current theory is right, that might not be true of Martian soil,
which may be highly oxidising.

That's very interesting and encouraging to know that lunar soil is
"growable" in without too much effort. I also read somewhere the
Apollo astronauts took sycamore and other tree seeds with them to the
Moon and back and that they were subsequently germinated and planted
as Moon trees at certain locations around the states. Astronauts and
"tree-nauts" have equally ventured to the Moon and back!
