The irrigation clock received new instructions based on something heard at Seed Saver’s over last weekend. Water once a week, a lot. Stop. This encourages plants to grow deeper roots, following the water down. This is an experiment, we’ll see how it works.

At least clearing the computer of all its programming and starting over should fix that.
