0:00.0	Every season in the garden it's an opportunity to change your methods just slightly and it might be like a best practice that everyone should do in theory or it just might be something that works really well for your climate.
0:24.9	You listening or me and Jacques here on the show.
0:27.5	So to me, some things I've changed Jacques compared to last year, I think a lot of my mistakes around planting have just been around timing.
0:38.0	And I think it's mostly just because of our climate, because our climate is very forgiving,
0:42.0	and so you think you can get away with stuff and you
0:45.2	technically can but you just don't get the yields that you might want.

1:29.4	was a little bit later.
1:30.9	And not later in terms of when I put them out, but later in terms of when I started
1:35.3	the seed.
1:36.3	So I feel like last year I started everything too early and I had to do like the potting up game and
1:40.6	the potting up game and then by the time I planted on amount they were a little bit too
