· Some of the other tomato plants were starting to wilt, so moved them from the back of the hab to the door where it is cooler

· One of the beans are starting to produce its first bean!

· More new seedlings popped up in one of the herb gardens! Probably 20 in that single planter now!

· Planted more herb. One herb planter currently has two rows of the following herbs, from left to right (see picture attached to email):

· Found the tin of seed packets.

o Organized the non-empty seed packets alphabetically using cut up cardboard in that tin

o Created an index of packets which still have seeds

o Created an empty index of packets to preserve the individual plant care instructions.

· The current monitor is a fire and carbon monoxide detector. Is there still a desire from mission control to install a separate carbon monoxide detector, perhaps in a different location in the greenhab? See attached pictures for picture of current alarm system.

· Tested the fire and CO detector, system is nominal.
