To wrap up the day, we held our regular team meeting to review our progress and plan the tasks ahead.

Summary of GreenHab operations: put notes here
I watered all the plants with water.
The door of the GreenHab was left open for 8 hours and 15 minutes (9.10 am to 5.25 pm) to reduce the temperature inside (maximum of 108.3 °F).
I watered and checked the seeds of the 3 small rectangular black pots (sprouts of China Rose radish) with the new cultures (Kale, Arugula and cress).
I removed Arugula plants because the plants were too old to be eaten.
I cut the dead branches of the tomato plants and tied up the overhanging branches.
I added stakes with a sticky paper to try to catch the drosophila present in the GreenHab.
I tied up the dill branches with a rope and tried to separate the different cultures (basil, dill, parsley, spring onions, chives, garlic) in the big blue pot.
I cleaned the floor of the GreenHab.
