0:00.0	Hello everyone, welcome back to the Epic Gardening podcast.
0:16.6	Today we have some really uncommon yet delicious crops that you really should consider adding
0:21.7	to your garden.
0:23.0	Richard Cannell is back.
0:24.0	He is the owner of Small Island Seed Company where they just don't happen to specialize

1:19.6	So the first crop I'll touch on is Turkish rocket.
