0:00.0	Welcome to the Old Fashioned On Purpose Podcast.
0:05.0	Friend, it is time that we talk about garlic for two reasons.
0:10.0	Number one, it is almost time, depending on where you live, for you to plant it.
0:17.0	It's coming up. And you heard me right, yes, you'd plant garlic in the late summer or middle of the fall depending on where you live.

0:29.0	So it's time to gear up and get ready.

1:38.8	Naturally I use Mason Jars for canning but I also love them as a go-to for everyday pantry storage and for holding my DIY cleaning supplies.
1:49.3	Recap mason jar lids are my secret weapon for converting regular all jars into shakers, spray bottles,
1:56.0	soap pumps, and pourable containers. Most recently, I have fallen in love with their straining lids because I just started experimenting with Kiefer and these
2:06.6	lids are seriously reducing the amount of dishes I have to do each day after I feed my Kiefer.
2:12.8	And if you have no idea what I'm talking about
