Today is very cold and windy. The plants seem to be all dried up and brown for the winter. The dry leaves rustle in the wind and it’s much louder now that they’re all dried out. The steams seem much more stiff and the leaves are very brittle.

The plants are looking more brown and droopy today. The leaves at the bottom of the stalks are still green but have brown edges now and look and feel more dried out. Still don't see other animals around.

There is more brown on the leaves today. The leaves are also more droopy than previous weeks. The stems and leaves of the plants towards the East are still more green than the ones closer to the building. However, they have gotten more brown over the week. There's a slight breeze that is rustling the leaves. The weather is a chilly 64 degrees and it is overcast today. I don't see any animals around.

There is little change from last week. There is still a good amount of green towards the bottom of the plants. The weather is not as hot and there are a few more clouds than last week. The wind has also died down since last time so there is less movement within the plants. I don't see any animal activity around the plants today. I'm out here a little earlier than I was last week.
