    They fail to see the bigger picture. Most planta died during the meteroid impact. Only the hardiest survived. The impact applied evolutionary pressure. They too are applying evolutionary pressure. So really, they need to keep going until a plant strong enough to survive their lack of care is found.

      That’s a weird thought to think about isn’t it.

      Perhaps the asteroid wiped out a particularly agreeable vegetable or something and now we have to make do with boring carrots.

      I bet they had good drugs.

      Probably taking a plant that’s already rather hardy, like a dandelion, would help and not trying to rise a single one, but 100-1000 plants in one attempt, would speed up the progress too.
