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.

Very nice show kim I'm thinking about getting a cattle panel and just got my apple gourd seeds and they give free sunflower seeds its called peredovik sunflower and I hear the train😊
@CG nice audio mix this video. How did you like doing voice over vs talking while working on the task? I like both equally when watching.
I love Ian! He has figured out that vegetable gardening is food for the soul
Ohh I loved this episode and your special guest, Ian! ❤
Yes and I have a lot of Weeds on my brick patio how do you get rid of them
