If one were to add water to soil from the moon, and then plant seeds, would they grow?

Some of the world's best vinyards are in areas of volcanic ash.

I think the 'soil' on the moon is volcanic ash, so is probably not fertile. For a soil to be fertile it must contain a source of nutrients for plants.

Plants can grow in any soil - or even no soil all - and so I'm sure plants would grow in moon soil if it were here on Earth

Lunar soil is not fertile, but with addition of fertilizer (and water and air of course) plants could probably grow in it. In other words, it isn't toxic.

plants couldn't breathe on the moon, so they wouldn't grow even if it was warm and had water. at least not plants like we know
