It has been a bright, steady start to the morning here on July 27. Between 6:00 AM and 8:30 AM, we watched light levels climb from 139 to 700 lux as the sun took hold. The ambient temperature rose alongside the light, moving from a cool 18.95°C to a comfortable 21.01°C, while humidity gradually settled at 51%.

Our sensors indicate that the basil, chilli, and oregano are all currently enjoying full soil moisture. This consistent hydration is evident in the plants’ overall vigour, particularly the basil on the left. Its broad, vibrant green leaves look exceptionally lush and healthy, showing no signs of environmental stress.

On the right side of the garden, the chilli plant is making great strides. A small, firm green chilli is clearly visible hanging from one of the upper branches, which we are currently supporting with a wooden stake. While the foliage is a slightly lighter, more yellowish-green compared to the deep tones of the basil, the plant remains upright and productive.

As the greenhouse warms and the light intensifies, the environment is in excellent shape. The combination of high soil moisture and rising morning temperatures provides the perfect conditions for our herbs to continue their mid-summer growth spurt.
