We’re keeping this raised bed planning session simple — figuring out how much wood we actually need for the next raised bed and working it out as we go. Along the way, the garden throws us a little December surprise we didn’t expect… and Jerry’s long-standing habit of saving things “just in case” makes a brief appearance too.
CaliKim UnCut pulls back the curtain — raw, real, and unfiltered. From garden projects to behind-the-scenes moments, it’s the everyday stuff that makes us laugh, shake our heads, and remember why growing our own fresh food is always worth it.

A Wed. Uncut! 1st!
I keep the boxes in case I try to sell, give away or donate the items later. The project looks interesting!
LOL Damn…And I was just about to break down the boxes to bring to the recycling bin lol
Thanks for hanging out with us today! 🌱 Can't wait to build the raised bed together in January! -CaliKim & CameraGuy
Are you going to have two raised beds put together and I can't wait to see you to finish project
lol, that’s so funny about the boxes. I do the same thing but with bigger 📦 boxes 😂
We are having a mild start to winter too here in BC, Canada. Was 10C (50F) yesterday which is very warm for us this time of year. The little snow that fell is gone.
Your making me want fresh garden veggies😋

I relate to saving boxes! I've been criticized for it. But I've used them for all kinds of things, including giving them to people who were moving.
2:49 😆🤣😆 Kim's hand reaching in like she's feeding the box monster. Baaahahahaha! Just killin' me!!
Gotta love a well-thought-out plan! Can't wait to see you construct, fill, and use the new raised bed. Safety first!
Oh my goodness! Ok, Kim that dip looks amazing!!! And I was laughing out loud at Cameraman’s box issue!!! I’m a box hoarder too!!! Occasionally I go thru them and pick out the best of the best, and toss the rest! It’s hard to do as I’m sure you know 😂. Love it!
3:17 Kim sliding the boxes in 🤣🤣🤣
