Our friend Ian came by for a garden tour to get ideas for his own garden—and we ended up getting into a conversation I wasn’t expecting.
We walked through the beds, talked through a few setups… and somewhere in there, he shared why eating vegetables actually changed things for him.
We also test out a small (but surprisingly useful) fix from Mister Landscaper, and Jerry works on sealing the pavers to bring everything back to life.
CaliKim UnCut videos are more behind-the-scenes, real garden days, projects, and conversations that don’t always make it into our garden how-to videos.
