This issue of Maximum Yield is no exception. Our cover story this month strays a little from our typical how-to format, in that it is more of a news story. Arizona-based writer Lee Allen used his contacts to explore food’s final frontier: Space. It’s amazing to think that humans are even considering traveling to and inhabiting distant planets like Mars. As Allen notes, even traveling at 35,000 miles per hour, it will take humans eight months to reach the Red Planet. The technology and research that has already gone into determining how those chosen pioneers will feed themselves will not only benefit humans in space but on Earth as well. A little closer to home, seasons are chang- ing and many gardeners are beginning to look indoors to grow. To help you with that, check out our helpful tips on bringing plants inside, growing cool-weather plants, prep- ping your growroom for winter, and even how to identify warning signs your plants may not be doing as well as they could be.
