In this informal vlog, the speaker walks viewers through his hands‑on work on his wife Krista’s flower garden, which he has taken responsibility for. He explains how he is creating terraced soil tiers on a rocky, boulder‑strewn area, clearing storm‑damaged trees by cutting them up and relocating the debris, and repurposing a chunk of rock to start building a retaining wall. He also outlines plans for an orchard of apple and pear trees and mentions the need to protect the young trees from deer with chicken wire. Throughout, he invites viewers to share their own home‑project ideas, positioning the segment as a personal showcase of his love for building, cutting, and DIY gardening while also noting that he writes books when not working on such projects.

Drinking a Dark and Stormy that I just made and just checking out the garden I'm assembling and building. So this is my wife's garden, called Krista's flower garden, Mike's responsibility. And now I'm going up in tiers. I got this tier up here, and where that hose is, I'm gonna fill that with soil, put more plants, and I'm gonna go up one more tier along this crevice here. We live on this like really rocky— you can see it's kind of boulder here. This little really rocky kind of area. We had this big storm come through, it tore down these trees, so I started— some actually fell toward the house, so I started, uh, cutting them up and throwing them back here. And I'm going to clear all this out ultimately and maybe put a garden up here. Is that crazy? Is that crazy? I don't know. Those are my home projects though. I like just like building stuff, cutting stuff, smashing stuff, smashing up some rocks. Believe it or not, see that rock there? I took that chunk off and— or I took a chunk off and put it there, and I'm gonna use it to build a wall. That's my home project. Oh, I'm trying to make an orchard down there too. Those trees with little labels on it, you probably can't see it from over here, but those are different apple tree and pear trees and stuff. And next project is to protect it from the deer. I gotta put some kind of chicken wire around it. What's your home projects? That's what I do when I'm not writing books. I'm curious what you do.
