Thank you so much, Owen, for all the work you’ve put into this podcast!! Most episodes have brought happy tears to my eyes (often when you and Chris are sharing your reflections). My partner and I watched the entire Jewel in the Palace series after listening to this episode with Kristyn, and it was so amazing!!! I’m often trying to channel my inner Jang-geum on the farm and in life now :) We’re doing our first seed contract (an Okra & a Southern Pea) with Southern Exposure this season very much thanks to you all.
I’m wishing you, Chris, and everyone else in your circles lots of loving energy for all the wonderful work you are doing with the podcast, True Love, and the inspiring lives you are living ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 <3
Thank youuuu I’m so excited to find there’s a Korean farm growing in the US
I absolutely love this episode. I am going to plant some perilla. This episode really got me thinking about my garden and its mixing in it’s diversity and these stories help me build my own seed and food story. Thanks for sharing!
