Those komatunas germinated in 6 days, about 1 week faster than other komatunas and pak chois which had been seeded in January.
We have fine and warm days this week with appropriate precipitation, which can contribute to the faster germination but I also recognized the air inside the tunnel can be too hot up to 34deg C in sunny days so I have to come up some ideas for cool-down and ventilation.

Plants always need so much attention, eh? First they are too cold, then they are too hot! You need a vinyl tunnel with thermostatically-controlled vents! Isn't there an App on you iphone for that? :)
I am finding that my cold frames can easily get too hot. I just noticed today that some of the pak choi is starting to bolt!

I wish my Ipad had an app which can sense and control the air temperature in the tunnel! If it's getting warmer, I will make some holes on my tunnel for ventilation or change them into insect screen which the air can pass through.

Thank you for reminding me! Yeah, if the air inside the tunnels or cold frames is too hot, the vegetables will be bolted soon. We have warm days this month so I think it's time when the vinyl tunnels should be removed. They have fulfilled their role.
The seedlings look so pretty surrounded by rice husk. Thank you for your prayers, my baby seems to be recovering well.

Great! Very glad to hear the news about your son! I strongly hope he will recover fully as soon as possible! To all my bloggers, please send your warm words to her and her son who had a cardiac surgery yesterday to cheer them up!!!
