GreenHab Officer: Caitlyn Hubric
Environmental control: (heater, fan, door open?) heater on, door closed, 20% humidity
Average temperatures: 43.3ºC/13.5ºC
Hours of supplemental light: N/A
Daily water usage for crops: 22.6 L ≈ 5.97 gal ≈ 6 gal
Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: 0 gal
Water in Blue Tank ~265 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: twice, morning and night, 9am-5pm
Changes to crops:
-Today I replanted multiple crops that haven’t grown since I started watering the greenhouse. I replanted the mint in the single planter on the wood pallet, I replanted 5 beans (bean bush contender) in the single pots on the shelves (middle row), I planted spinach by the spinach sign in the blue bin, I replanted some radish in the spots that I harvested the other day, and I planted 2 peas (super snappy peas) in the single pots on the top layer of the shelves. I only planted things that weren’t growing and followed the label they already had, I didn’t bring in any new plants.
-The beans currently growing look very happy as do the sugar snap peas.
Narrative:
-I hope that the plants I replanted will grow successfully so the future crews can enjoy a variety of fresh plants.

Narrative:
-Is the dill in the big blue bin intended to be harvested as a microgreen or grown to maturity?
-The plants in the greenhouse are doing very well! There is a single planter on the wood pallet that is labeled mint that has nothing growing. I have watered it the last few days and there are still no signs of growth. I plan to replant tomorrow using the seeds that were provided to me.
