Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.
Presumably there would be soil since the scenario envisaged is of them terraforming the planet.
Lichen for untold millennia, then we will have enough soil for the mint to take over.
Lupins are good. Nitrogen fixers. Tough.
This is the Raspberry Mint planet, great for Kombucha
The origin story of Mintberry Crunch
Somewhere there’s a joke about a Raspberry Pi running Linux Mint in there
Sir this is a
Wen…Lemmy, so yeah okay, carry on then.
we’re pulling up on Mojito 3
Love that this implies that it happened at least three times lmao
Good thing I packed limes for this trip. I’ve already got them loaded into the shuttle
I’ll bring some slugs
Will they get along with my killer wasps?
And here comes bamboo with a steel chair!!!
As long as it’s not alien conscious bamboo as in the Semiosis trilogy
First time seeing a Semiosis reference in the wild. Excellent series.
I’d have taken it for more of a kendo fan in the hc matches
Specialists poring over the first draft list of plants and animals to be ferried over: “Are you crazy?!”
Never bring English Ivy to another planet, worst mistake of my life
Children Of Time Book 5 is going to be weird
I guess there’s gotta be some uplifted plants out there. They’ll probably have to fight the grey fungus.
You just reminded me to check on the 4th book, and it has been released. Thank you kind sir or madame (or uplifted rat).
Currently listening to 4. It’s fun and weird, as always
This is basically the plot of the game Eufloria.
Lest plant some rum plants and mojito that mint into line!
For good measure, add Japanese knotweed and tree of heaven
Had to scroll to find knotweed. Someone knows what they’re talking about.
Having had both in my garden, mint will win.
Did they mean brambles maybe?
Blackberries would probably learn to coexist with mint if they can share enoug root space.
We have 3 kinds of mint and I’ve already pulled fistfuls out of the ground where they’re encroaching on neighboring plants. We planted it in the garden next to our big oak tree for our daughter to nibble when she’s out there with her friend, but it’s probably the last season we’ll keep it.
Bold to assume the mint gives you a choice in whether you “keep” it.
I’m a masochist. I have mint on one side of the house and wisteria on the other. I should round it out with bamboo and blackberries. Make my home into a rhizome cage match.
Mint vs red raspberries - winner is mint
Mint vs black raspberries - those stabby raspberries win every time
Probably, I was going to say European blackberry but that is also known as brambles apparently.
