| 0:00.0 | 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 | But you got started pretty soon after you started gardening, really? |
| 0:41.4 | I did. We got our chickens in October of last year. We got them as little chicks, which |
| 0:48.8 | in theory sounded super cute and fun. And it was. It really was. But we had to keep them |
