Changes to crops: Pulled remaining raised bed and seeded soaked pea and sunflower microgreens.
Narrative: Cucumbers were wilted in the morning but are doing fine and the plants survived the night entirely unscathed. Today, one raised bed of old microgreens was pulled, ~1 gallon of soil added, and seeded with pea and sunflower microgreens. Then the bed was covered with a synthetic burlap bag to start the blackout period (3-5 days). At 8:00 PM tonight I observed no wilting. I ran into some troubles with wiring my experiment to monitor soil moisture content, so I am seeking help from crew members with engineering experience and will attempt to get it working tomorrow. Tomorrow I plan to transplant some tomatoes and sunflowers.
Harvest: 6 g cilantro
Support/supplies needed: none
