You would have to provide an atmosphere (nothing will grow in the atmospere of Mars), warmth, a light source, water and everything that Martian soil doesn't have. What Martian soil does have is a lot of nutrients but what it doesn't have is all the bacteria that makes soil alive.

With a sealed greenhouse, an artificial atmospere, a light and heat source, water and bacteria, you could grow anything you wanted.

The only thing that Mars has going for it is nutrient rich soil.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
