Narrative: The crops are doing well today; I have a well-established watering schedule for the current crops in the GreenHab that I will include in my final report. One of the cucumbers is about 4 inches long! It will be ready to be harvested soon, hopefully before we leave. The microgreen raised beds continue to make progress, but not enough to harvest yet. The soil moisture experiment looks more promising, as the microgreens’ growth rate seems to be significantly impacted by the water content, which I hope is reflected in the soil moisture measurements. The arugula should be harvested ASAP; it is not growing any larger and wilts quickly. I might pull a couple containers before I leave to improve water efficiency. 8 g of cilantro were harvested to be used in our chicken curry dinner.
Harvest: 8 g cilantro
Support/supplies needed: none
