I edited my post above concerning the water pressure.

This morning I have been weeding beside my drip lines (while they are dripping), watering new seed beds with a hand sprinkler, hoeing weeds in the pathways, and collecting squash bugs. Each cucumber and squash plant has a little depression around it (a mini pond) that I fill with water. I also rinse the undersides of the leaves. The squash bugs come crawling out and then I toss them into the water jug. So far I don't see any egg masses on the undersides of the leaves. So far. I've lost 2 plants, not sure what ate them. I never plant just one of anything for that reason. After spending about an hour on my knees with the ants, earwigs and spiders, I feel crawly!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
