When are you taking your next trip on the space shuttle?

Hello

I am looking for information about greenhouse experiments in space. I
have found lots of information on the NASA web, but mostly useless (at
least in relation with what I am looking for). I would like to know
what is today's "state of the art" in growing plants in
microgravity (or also in low atmospheric pressure). I have some info
(not very much, anyway) on the experiments carried out in Salyuts and
Mir, the problems found and the fixes tried, but I haven't found
almost anything about improvements made in ISS; only descriptions of
the hardware and experiments, and grandilocuent words about the
possibilities for the future... but no analysis of results, no
conclusions, no new problems found and what is being investigated in
order to solve them... In short, I would like to know where we are know
in this matter, since it seems to me that not very much has been
achieved in the last 20 years.

Does anybody know where can I find some useful information about this?
I don't look for very technical information, just medium level,
"popular science". Thank you very much
