By 1960 only three varieties of seed still grew. A decade later, one hardy weed survived...
...again to warmth and light. The seedlings will be nurtured until they produce seeds of their own, in the hope that the progeny will offer clues about the mutating effects of 100 years' exposure to the natural radiation in the soil.
