China Is Growing Cotton on the Moon..udate,it's dead

There’s cotton growing on the far side of the moon—the first time plants have sprouted there. On January 3, a lunar lander called Chang’e-4 touched down on the moon, deploying a rover to explore lunar terrain. The lander also carries a container filled with soil and cotton and potato seeds, and the cotton seeds are now sprouting, an image released by the China National Space Administration today (January 15) shows. The image was published on the People’s Daily, China twitter feed, which is run by the country’s state-owned media group.

“Learning about these plants’ growth in a low-gravity environment would allow us to lay the foundation for our future establishment of space base,” Chongqing University’s Liu Hanlong, who is leading the experiment, says in a statement, according to the South China Morning Post. The space agency is developing preliminary plans for a crewed lunar landing mission in the 2030s, with the possibility of building a moon base with international cooperation afterward.

You cannot grow anything with a 14 days night and freezing temperatures. You'd nee

They'd need a power source for the lunar night, both for light and heating,and only nuclear sources wouldn't need a high mass of fuel.
The project for a lunar base is meant to be placed at lunar pole where you have permanent sunlight on heights, unusable for traditional greenhouses but a source of power for artificial light ones.
