Good afternoon hope all is well
I was a builder for 43 years and your Deck looks great
What areas in your garden are you embarrased to show anyone? How about areas that you're proud of? Let us know ⬇ Thanks for hanging out with us in the garden! -CaliKim & CameraGuy

Build it yourself lots cheaper and a lot of fun
We do the best we can Kim. No one is perfect. Your garden is still always beautiful.
Safety first 😅
@Calikim29 Where did you source the planter trays you are using on the new smart pots decks?
Oh look at that, you guys are humans. 😉 EVERY garden has a messy area. It’s a must and totally normal. You guys are not messy at all. The trick is to make the mess look pretty if we can. If not, don’t stress who cares 😂😂😂😂.
What a funny video when did y'all move in the house and I cant wait to start my eggplant seeds and harvest them mmmm
You have the most beautiful garden. It makes it more relatable to see that not everything is always 100% picture perfect, b/c our garden this year is struggling, and we go – yeah, we'll get to that!
Can I give you another suggestion? My shade cloth over my toms looks somewhat like yours but I saw a gardener make an easy suggestion. On top of the tall stakes put a plastic bottle over each stake and it really helps the cloth be more centered.
Love love love this everyone has some things they don’t want others to see but your willingness to show and tell is an inspiration to me and others.Thank you so much. I love you guys ❤️
I think we all have areas of "mess", Lol… I would need 100 acres to be satisfied with enough space to "organize" everything… I did a Jerry tumble yesterday… I was standing on a ladder trying to hammer in a T-post for a trellis for my raised bed and just like Jerry I just knew I could reach the top to get the T-post driver on top of the T-post and YEP to the ground I went. Luckily the driver did land on top the T-post and it was in the ground enough to stay standing and not annihilate me on the way down…. Felt the repercussions this morning, Lol Not terrible but after 50 you feel everything.
Love it 🙂
So funny but so real. My area of "consternation" is under my deck. It becomes the "throw space" for all gardening related things. The problem is – the space is a "bendover" space. Not high enough to stand up – but not low enough to be called a crawl space. It's haphazard and nothing is within easy reach. For Jerry and the "spiderman" – yep .. all.the.time. One of my raised beds is close to a fence and I am forever using the fence brace for one foot and the side of the bed for another foot to manuever up to higher growing plants. One day they will find me broken and stupid next to it. lol
That deck looks great! You did an awesome job!
Who can look around and try to find a mess area in your garden, not me I’m always looking at the beauty 🥰 place you have, lol I need to d some cleaning and CG be safe 😊.
You can build it for sure!
Safety 1st Jerry! Thank you for sharing!
thank you for the behind the scenes real life video😂 I can so relate!!❤ you guys!!
I can definitely relate to not wanting to show all that messiness! And I definitely have spots in my yard where I have that, such as around the house where nobody goes.😁 I bet that felt good to clean that one area you showed on the side of the house. Looks very nice! Also, I love your idea of building a storage shed and moving your gardening stuff there! 👍
Oh, and I’m glad you are OK, Jerry, and that you didn’t get injured! 😳
You did such an awesome job on your deck that I think you would be awesome on an outside building too…..only thing is you will have to have help doing the roof framing …..possibly a body harness to put on while constructing the roof so you won’t fall… as we get older we break easier and takes longer to heal!! Just always be safe 😉……. As far as the embarrassing places of clutter…..well Kim come on over here sweetie and sit by me will drink a strawberry daiquiri and laugh about how much more we can throw up on it 🤣🤣!!!
