Hi Elise, One of the quirks of POSIXt time values is that they are lists. This should give you the plot:
plot(Soil_Temp~as.numeric(DateTime),eldf,xaxt="n",xlab="DateTime") and this the x axis: axis.POSIXct(1,eldf$DateTime) If you want a different format for the date values on the axis, look at the "format" argument.
