Online alarm clock for 1:59 am
As you hand the Otago greenhouse check to the next person on duty, set the alarm for 1:59 am so the changeover does not blur the timing. That gives them a clear cue just before 2:00 am to head out, inspect the covers and vents, and look for signs that the morning frost is beginning to settle.
Because the greenhouse handover may happen quietly, check where the alarm sound will actually play. Wireless headphones can remain connected after being put aside, sending the alert somewhere nobody hears it. Disconnect them or choose the phone speaker, then use the preview to confirm the volume. Keep this browser alarm active and the screen awake: otherwise the greenhouse inspection could be missed when the browser is closed or the phone goes to sleep.
After a frost check at this hour, leave a small buffer before the next job later that day. Note what was checked, any cover that was moved, and whether another look is needed near dawn, then allow enough time to return inside and put equipment away. At 1:59 am, that margin keeps a late-night handover from pushing the next task off schedule.
