| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. Today I think I'll do a little bit of a story sharing on |
| 0:08.4 | My experience with micro Greens. I think you know by now if you're a frequent listener that I'm big on the |
| 0:14.2 | micro green game I love them I think they're one of the best things that a new |
| 0:18.7 | gardener can grow I think they're extremely nutritious but why why am I obsessed with them? |
| 0:24.0 | Why is Kevin so obsessed with micro-greens? |

| 1:21.1 | So if I've seen them on the plate, someone bought them to put on the plate and |
| 1:26.2 | someone grew them and sold them to put on the plate. I can be the person that grows them and |
| 1:31.1 | sells them. That was my thought. And so what I did is with that kit, |

| 1:40.0 | I went out, I got a nice haircut, |
| 1:42.0 | I put on some decent clothes, and I called up my cousin and I said, |
