0:06.0	What's going on everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. We are back here with
0:17.0	James Pragioni from the Gardening channel with James Pragioni over on YouTube.
0:21.5	Well worth the subscription. probably been subscribed to you almost as long as I think
0:26.0	Gary from the Rusted Garden and man who else California Gardening I'm not sure if you you
0:31.9	remember him James oh yeah definitely Yeah he was one of the firsts and then of course Laura over at Gardenancer and then am I gardener as well so in the old guard so to speak. Anyways we talked yesterday about the fruit trees that you're going and we talked a little bit about variety selection.
