| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on everyone? |
| 0:03.0 | Kevin here, and today we're going to talk about just some weird veggies that you can grow in the garden. |
| 0:08.0 | I don't know about you, but I have kind of a pension for weird veggies. I'll oftentimes stop growing something |
| 0:15.4 | that is really productive and really easy to grow and then I will switch to |
| 0:21.0 | something that's a little bit more unique or harder to grow just simply because |
| 0:25.3 | it's kind of odd or weird. That's me, that's the way I like to grow things. I'm not all about production, |

| 1:25.0 | And you know what's perfect is it's the perfect time to plant the watermelon |
| 1:29.0 | radish right now. |
| 1:30.0 | It likes a late summer, early fall planting because it's not very heat tolerant at all. |
| 1:34.9 | Okay, here's another one. Now I don't know if you've been following the gardening trends this year, |
| 1:40.9 | it certainly seems to me like cucumellons or mouse |
