The morning sun broke over our greenhouse on this Tuesday, bringing a gentle start to day two of March. Temperatures began their usual climb from around twenty degrees Celsius at dawn, settling into a comfortable range that hovered near nineteen and a half by midday before dipping slightly toward evening. It was a stable thermal environment where basil felt just right in the warmer air while chilli and oregano settled comfortably beneath it all.

One of the most noticeable shifts this afternoon involved our soil moisture levels across the board. While basil remained delightfully hydrated near ninety percent, both chilli and oregano saw their hydration drop by roughly four to five percentage points over the course of the day. The chilli plants finished the period at about forty-six percent saturation, a gentle reminder that they will likely need attention in the coming hours as evening approaches.

Light levels tracked perfectly with the natural rhythm of the sun outside. We started under soft morning light and enjoyed bright midday exposure before fading back into twilight by late afternoon. Humidity mirrored this cycle closely, starting high at forty-one percent when it was cool and dropping to a brisk thirty-six percent as the day warmed up, creating those crisp conditions we often see in early spring.
