OTHER NOTES:

Swept the floor because water was dripping from the shelves and it was stored/clogged in front of the table and blue tank. Next time, I should be more careful when watering

Moved two white bowls with snow pea plants into the floor, as they were drying out probably because of excess heat from the heater

Put some bricks/stones in front of the entrance (below the thermometer just outside of GreenHab), as the entrance was muddy and slippery, there were some risks of falling down

QUESTION: There are some empty tubs with soil, may I use them for harvesting tomorrow? For example: 9 Pepper tubs tags, 2 red tomatoes etc. Please advise. Thanks.

Harvest: At 11:12 A.M., 4 grams of cilantro, 23 grams of lettuce, 8
grams of swiss chard, and 8 grams of purple carrots were harvested. At
4:25 P.M., 12 grams of sage, 4 grams of marjoram, and 0.25 grams of
thyme were harvested.

Other: The two cucumber plants that were transplanted yesterday were
given fertilizer in an attempt to revitalize the wilted leaves. Also,
after searching for the missing electronic thermometer, I learned that
Outpost had taken it for their own means. So, to be able to read the
mid-height temperature of the GreenHab, I removed the thermometer that
is outside of the GreenHab, and I placed it inside as the temporary
thermometer until the electronic one is available.
