Narrative: All cucumbers were very dehydrated so 1 gallon of water was distributed across the plants to thoroughly saturate the soil. The cilantro we picked was fresh and delicious, adding some color to dinner. Many of the herbs, radishes, and carrot seedlings are quite crowded, so I intend to thin them to ensure they have enough room/nutrition to grow. Next to the tomatoes, there are a lot of trays labeled microgreens which have turned into macrogreens and are likely no longer useable for food/salad (i.e. small sunflower plants). I intend to pull and discard half of them and seed new microgreens. These, along with the arugula, were quite dehydrated when I checked at 1815.

Harvest: 5 g cilantro

Support/supplies needed: none
