Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening Podcast. Kevin is here. We are on with Jordan

0:18.4

again from Mind and Soil. This is our last episode for now. Jordan, we talked a lot about

0:23.2

the mental health benefits. It's fall, it's winter. I'm actually kind of curious just

0:28.4

what's going on in your garden right now. Well, a lot of rain up here, which if there's

0:33.5

a way I could give you some of it, then that'd be great. You wouldn't mind it down there.

0:38.5

out how to have less of or do less of in the garden for next season. So that'd be the

1:41.5

first part is just like spend a little bit of time reflecting on the highs and the lows

1:45.2

1:51.6

And then this year, I've already started some building projects like rebuilding some beds,

1:56.0

reshaping, restructuring those beds, any sort of like thing that makes life easier. So putting
