  • Abortion ad

    Ad for abortion on latest episode. Will no longer support anything to do with epic gardening.

  • Goodbye

    Kevin was a great host. Jaques is a great co-host. The two of them together are great but we are hearing less and less from Kevin and the topics are less interesting and I was getting tired of it. NOW I listen to the latest episode and hear an advertisement for abortion. I will have no part in supporting that. I have removed all my epic garden items from my Christmas list and will no longer be a customer.

  • I can no longer support

    I discovered Kevin on his YouTube channel. I have followed all his channels and podcasts and have found him to be very experienced and informative. However, after hearing the opening ad for this episode, I am no longer following this podcast nor his YouTube channel. I’m throwing away his book and all my Botanical Interest seeds.
