Hello everyone, welcome back to the Epic Gardening podcast. Today we are talking again with Chris,

0:19.0

the Epic Gardening assistant, as well as many other roles here at the company. And we're

0:23.9

talking about how she got into gardening, but also Chris, you got into chicken keeping

0:27.8

this year. Before me, I haven't done it yet. There's reasons why mine is taking a little

0:33.4

bit longer, which everyone will see soon on YouTube and Instagram and all those channels.

0:37.8

1:31.1

quickly. In fact, I think I showed you a video of one of them on top of my dog's head.

1:34.5
