| 0:00.0 | What's going on everyone? Kevin here from Epic Gardening. Really excited today because we have I think only the second time we've had a recurring guest here on the podcast and that would be Leslie Halleck. |
| 0:14.0 | She's a professional horticulturalist. |
| 0:16.1 | She's the author of Gardening Under Lights, which is sort of the topic we talked about last |
| 0:20.9 | time for that week she was on the podcast but she's got a new book |
| 0:24.1 | out called Plant Parenting Easy Ways to Make More House Plants, Vegetables, |
| 0:29.3 | and Flowers. So as you can imagine this week is going to be about plant propagation and talking about all sorts of different aspects of that. |
| 0:38.0 | And so it's going to be a really exciting week. It's definitely a part of plant care and gardening that I really love learning about and have probably plenty to learn. |

| 1:24.3 | Yeah, you know what, why not just go right into the deep end? |
| 1:26.6 | I think it's something that confuses a lot of people though because a lot of people |
| 1:30.4 | don't know, okay, well, what's in these rooting hormones so I think |
| 1:33.2 | maybe if we just start right there and then we can move into the different types. |
| 1:36.4 | Sure so yeah rooting hormones are sort of a kind of creepy technical thing for a lot of new plant propagators that sort of come into play after, you know, people start getting their their toes into the shallow end of the pool with propagation and then they |
