And we are live. Welcome folks to episode 3280 of The Survival Podcast. It's a Thursday,

Jack Show. And today we're going to be talking about gardening, but really more the things to grow,

or specifically the things that I'm going to grow this year. This isn't everything I'm going to

the beauty of it. But you'll also have things that are tried and true for you. So for instance,

one of the things I'll talk about today is, you know, you guys are calling it my tactical assault

squash back there, right? If you're watching the video. And you know, it has become very tried and

true for me in that it is possible for me to grow this stuff without being completely plagued

by the horrible nightmare of squash vine moors that we talked about with our guests yesterday.

Because there's not much of a vine for them to bore into. It's thick and dense. Does that mean
