Earlier in the summer, if you were listening to some of our recently past episodes,

0:18.2

you would know that I was talking a lot about my garden and my struggles in my garden with these

nefarious wood shucks and nefarious is a strong word. They were just

wood shucks can be nefarious. No, you're right. There's too much motive attached to that word.

That's true. They were just being. They don't have. No, yeah. Wood shucks are going to wood
