Summer New Moon
A bit of a disconnected afternoon. A long nap followed by working for a while in the heat trying to figure which zone on our irrigation clock corresponded to which actual sprinklers. This was necessary because we got a new clock and the guy joined the wires in roughly the same order as the old one. Roughly.
The stimulus for this work came from Kate’s discovery that our new puppies get excited when the water comes through the netaphim line we just had put in our orchard. By excited I mean grab the netaphim and run with it, chewing all the while. Netaphim is a plastic tube about half the size of a garden hose through water drips onto plants rather than sprays. It works great, but better without teeth marks.
Tomorrow I’ll put all the netaphim lines on a schedule separate from the rest of the sprinklers and start them early enough in the morning that their work will be done before the puppies get up. That should solve it.
