Cassy Joy: Hey Charissa!Charissa Talbot: Hey Cassy!

Cassy Joy: {laughs} If you’re listening on Monday the 25th, then Charissa and I wish you a very happy memorial day.Charissa Talbot: That’s right! I’ve been so busy working I didn’t even remember it’s a holiday weekend.

Cassy Joy: Today’s a holiday! As an entrepreneur and as someone who works from home, you kind of lose track.Charissa Talbot: You do.

Cassy Joy: What the holidays are.Charissa Talbot: In that case, this episode is perfect! I hope everyone listens to it this morning so they thoroughly enjoy their holiday evening, or day!

1. Updates from Cassy [1:31]Cassy Joy: Yes. Today we are so excited about our topic. Before we get to it, Charissa, I’ve got to really important update for you.

Charissa Talbot: Oh, I’m ready.Cassy Joy: {laughs}

Charissa Talbot: I’m so ready. Wait, wait. Ok, now I’m ready. {laughs}Cassy Joy: Now you’re ready? {laughs} It’s about my garden.

Charissa Talbot: Oooh!Cassy Joy: It’s really important. I never realized how much of my littler heart that garden would consume.

Charissa Talbot: Mmm.Cassy Joy: I love it so much. It is exploding. I started everything from seeds, and if you’re a first time listener, this past spring I decided, I live in suburbia of San Antonio, and Austin, my fiancé, built me 3 raised beds that are, what are they, 4 x 8 each. So they’re pretty good sized, and we filled them with organic soil and I sprouted seeds, I was so excited, and things are doing really well. My spaghetti squash is enormous. I have a cabbage patch full of kale and collards, and I have a nightshade patch, which is something that probably only a nutritionist would think about. {laughs}

Charissa Talbot: {laughs} Right.Cassy Joy: They’re foods, but I’m growing jalapenos and tomatillos, eggplants, and then some tomatoes, of course. Anyway, everything is doing really well. But something that I did not expect is the little friendly family of 6 and 8 legged little critters that have decided to move in because of the garden. And that has been interesting to watch. We’ve got an orb weaver, which is a spider, and a bunch of caterpillars munching on my baby cabbage patch...
