| 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. |
| 0:23.7 | Hope you enjoy. |
| 0:26.7 | Good morning everyone. |
| 0:28.3 | Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. |
| 0:31.1 | I just realized it might not be morning when you're listening to this. So good, whatever, and wherever you are in the world and whatever you're doing. |
