0:00.0	Hello my friends Kevin here from Epic Gardening we are recuperating resting and
0:16.7	planning for 2024 so today's episode is a rerun of some of our favorites from years past.
0:23.5	Hope you enjoy.
0:24.5	Hello, hello everyone.
0:27.5	Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast.
0:30.5	I hope you are doing awesome.
