| 0:14.0 | Welcome back. |
| 0:16.0 | It's Kevin here from Epic Gardening and Jill McShei is back to drop some knowledge |
| 0:20.5 | for us about tomato trellising. This is, I wouldn't even say hotly |
| 0:26.1 | debated Jill, but there's just certainly so many different methods, right? I know that we talked |

| 1:25.8 | question but it's to test it in my garden and you can do the same thing in yours |
| 1:29.2 | so my test may yield different than your test might in something like this. |
| 1:33.8 | So I use the Florida weave for my robot tomatoes and that is not really what I was testing |
