Narrative: After watching the sunrise, the plants got a nice misting. I checked the moisture level on the plants, and everything was moist but the cucumbers, so I gave them good water. I also decided to pour a gallon of water on the ground to see if it would help with the humidity. I went back to check and most of the water had evaporated, and the humidity was above 40%, much higher than the usual 20-30%. On today’s lunch menu, spaghetti, garnished with basil! I chopped up a few grams of basil and thyme and carefully selected 6 basil tops for our spaghetti plates. In the afternoon, the crew geologist and I went out to the GreenHab to inspect the radishes and by inspection, I mean taste. We are cooking up a plan for them. There are some sizable cucumbers as well, they seem much happier with the higher humidity. I brought some CO2/Humidity/Temperature sensors with me and left mine in the GreenHab to compare with the monitor already in the GreenHab. My values are higher than the values being recorded by 3 to 5 digits for both the humidity and the temperature.
Harvest: 7g of Basil, ~1g of Thyme, 14g of Chinese Rose Radish
Support/supplies needed: None
