I am sad to report that my wonderful plant has passed on. We left the windows open in the room next to the Farm and it got wy too cold in there. SO the plants this morning are all wilted. The lights are on and I covered the farm in hopes the warmth of the lamps will revive but I highly doubt it. If they do not get better tomorrow the machine will get cleaned and I will start with all new seeds
