We share garden updates, what we’ve been working on behind the scenes, and how things are progressing in the grow room. We also dive into some recent horror movies and TV shows that have caught our attention, including discussions around Welcome to Derry and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, and why we love horror as a genre beyond just jump scares. Along the way, we have an honest conversation about mental health, staying grounded, and finding balance while juggling creativity, gardening, and everyday life.
