| 0:00.0 | Welcome back everyone to the Epic Gardening Podcast. Hope you are doing well. We've got |
| 0:17.0 | Meg Counten back on this show. She is the founder of Sea to Fork and a huge successions |
| 0:23.0 | soar. Something that I do quite a bit of actually Meg, but I think certainly something |
| 0:27.6 | you've posted a lot about it and you're pretty well known for helping a lot of people out |
| 0:31.2 | with. And so today we're talking about succession planning for fall harvest. So I'm curious |
| 0:35.3 | as to your approach, timing methods, all that kind of stuff. |
| 0:39.0 | Yeah, I mean, this kind of encapsulates a little kind of the whole thing we've been talking |
| 0:43.6 | about already. If you think about timing, if you think about the lead time of all the |

| 1:47.2 | season from the end of May until October, November. And that, yeah, it really is. Like when |
| 1:57.8 | I think about that, I'm like, I know which one really does suck. I'm not going to lie to |
| 2:01.0 | you. Like it really sucks. Like it's bad. It's like two months worse than it needs to be. |
| 2:07.9 | But like I can grow cabbage in August. And it's like an all-polish of a cabbage out of |
