All season they talked about how the plants would not grow in the soil from WP due to something wrong with the soil. In the S2 finale there's a brief scene showing a small plant growing in a pot in the greenhouse. Does this mean the soil is no longer bad? If so, just in time, now that everybody is going back into pods.
shareThat's nature. Given time, it is possible for plants and animals to adapt. So yes, it's quite possible that now plants are beginning to grow and have adapted. If so, it's still obviously not in time because the people are still starving and there are not enough current crops to plant and harvest to keep the majority alive. We'll see what happens in Season 2.
EMOTICONS ARE BACK! YAY!
What was completely inexplicable was why FFS if the soil inside the walls was bad, why they didn't truck the good soil from outside, into the town? Why grow food in a vulnerable situation WHEN YOU DON"T HAVE TO? STOOPID!!!
shareThe pot in the greenhouse would not he the same soil as the town.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to start the crops in the greenhouse in the first place.
it means whatever that plant was that was growing is able to grow in the specific soil conditions. so when they wake up in x amount of years there should be tons of whatever that is. because they will need food when they wake up so they need to set that up ahead of time. hence we get that shot of the plant growing.
notice the head guy said all the "something" can go, but leave the pines, they grow better, or something to that effect. he completely changed the eco system of the soil by killing all those trees and leaving one kind to flourish. its like a allegory of the whole season of the show.
Per CJ when he took Pilcher out of cryo, the environment had returned to pre-industrial, non-exhausted quality. Yet, somehow the town soil was poor quality but the rest of the planet is fine? And Pilcher, supposedly a brilliant uber wealthy scientist could plan an entire community down to finest quaint detail but overlooked an essential like multiple forms of gardening, like hydroponics (read: No. Soil. Required)? Yeah, ok. LOL They had plenty of space to create an indoor hydroponics vertical farm (google it to get an idea) that would produce food year round. Create two, each on opposite sides of the town in the event there's some failure or disease in one.

You can tell a lot about a person from reading his biography.
OMG it was all too ridiculous to evaluate. They had a funeral in a huge MEADOW full of prairie grasses and plants. If soil grows grasses it grows crops - what do you think the American breadbasket was before 1800?? Acres of healthy trees within their walls, too. EVERY problem addressed within S2 was illogical and/or contradicted the story from S1.
