Figuring as how I'm going to be on the islands for 60-90 days I've picked up some seeds on the miniscule chance the Grey Islands have anywhere near the appropriate combination of sunlight, water and soil to permit agriculture. This is what I've got and how many days it will supposedly take to mature:
Cress: 35
Cabbage: 55
Arugula: 35
Mesclun: 40
Spinach: 50
Mustard: 40
As I know next to nothing (perhaps less than nothing) about gardening this is all a ridiculous experiment. Anyone have any thoughts?

About the project...
The Grey Islands was a three-month interdisciplinary ceramic art project. During the summer of 2009 I lived alone on the Grey Islands while I made and documented a site-specific ceramic art piece.
The installation itself is quite simple. I built a wood-fired kiln according to a traditional design, only I inverted the design so that in principle the kiln is inside-out. Therefore, in a conceptual sense, the entire island is "inside" the kiln - when I fired the kiln I fired the island.
The ultimate purpose of The Grey Islands is to say that even within the material-oriented craft genres traditional hierarchies of medium and concept need to be reevaluated.
