So, how are the plants doing? Is that Kirin stuff working? Gimme the deets. Or beets. Those are summer crops, right?

Beets are an autumn crop.

Looks like plant hell. What was in that stuff? I’m glad I told you not to lick it! I’ll be there tomorrow with as many water bottles as I can swipe from the courier breakroom. Did you send an email to Solar Corp? Maybe they’ve got some advice?

Water will be very appreciated, and I apologize if I sound irritable, but I did not get the chance to bathe tonight. Missy alerted me to the water tank’s levels and we’ve used up over half a season’s worth of water! I asked her how that was possible, and she said it was to keep the humidity and soil dampness levels consistent!
I’ve had to leave my hat in the office. The plants have grown in strange shapes since I hadn’t gotten the chance to put up the trellises in time, and they keep knocking it off.
And I did email Solar Corp. There’s been no response back as of now. I’d like to think that the silence is due to their internal efforts to resolve this issue. I’d really like to think that. Perhaps they took quiet action. Could you check your delivery schedule? Did they add any more water to your manifest tomorrow?

I don’t see any. Going to go catch a few winks so I can be at the warehouse station a little early. Maybe they received something. See you tomorrow, hang in there!

To whom it may concern,
I regret to inform you that I did not receive your reply to my previous email. I trust that the issue will be resolved as quickly as possible so we can work together to find a solution!
I don’t know how, but the plants have continued to grow at an alarming rate. The amaranth’s leaves have grown so large I have to duck to walk past their rows, the corn stalks have climbed halfway to the ceiling, and the melon blossoms have collectively released so much pollen I’ve been tracking it into my office! Our pollinator drones have begun their work, as I was unable to request the AMIS system to stop before their automated processes started, and I do not look forward to seeing how large the melons will grow.
I’ve attached photographs of the greenhouse as additional documentation of the escalating situation. Please advise. And please add as much water as you can to the shipping schedule as soon as possible! The system has shifted to an emergency water-conservation mode, and I worry for the continued health of the crops and am starting to grow concerned for my own long-term safety.
Thanks,
Fiddlesticks
