My favorite thing about Sundays are Kevin’s channel.

[@ElizabethReed12329]

Mine too 🤭

[@SunnyJJJJ]

Kevin, your property is a paradise. 😍

[@toddschmidt-vn2yo]

I lost my partner of 38 years last year to cancer. I’ve been comforted by your show because you remind of my Kyle. We had a lovely home that we curated over the years. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Peace and love.

[@jayr.617]

Kevin has the patience of a saint to grow so many things so well. Super green thumb.

[@Joe-ew5rt]

My sons say you don't have a friend in the world if you have to buy zucchini. Loved your garden tour. It is somewhat comforting to know that I'm not the only one who has garden failures.

[@GM-jv9jz]

I have to buy zucchini

[@melissalambert7615]

I can grow it but have critters who eat the blossoms.

[@carolavant3778]

Kevin, all of your hard work is definitely paying off! You've created a paradise!

[@ritacarlson9522]

😊Absolutely loved your garden tour. A garden shows the heart of the maker...your heart is truely beautiful Kevin 💐 🌳

[@marycook1644]

🦉What an amazing property ! But without your love and plantings over the years it would never be so amazing !! And the fact that you share it with friends, family and now your Utube universe makes it a miracle for so many !! I love seeing in the comments where your followers reside ! 🐬Blessings everyone from California ! 🦚

[@AFPB11]

Best wishes from Melbourne Australia🌼

[@grandaflora4191]

My goodness your shrubs used for privacy screenings have flourished along with your boxwoods. You are to be commended on your beautiful garden design and execution!

[@paulabuck5976]

Kevin, You are doing more good than you know. Your voice and demeanor are soothing and calming. I view your channel on repeat to stay calm and avoid anxiety…

[@mypinklife3415]

Your garden is beautiful Kevin. You are very talented.I am lucky my back yard sees a lawn mower. Thank you for sharing yours with us. This is a real treat.

[@gailnelson1152]

Thank you so much for sharing your gardens and the beautiful history of how you started with such amazing visions of what it could become. Just stunning. I can understand how you would not want to live in any other place. It is truly your a part of you. Again, sincere thanks for sharing. ❤

[@francesca6301]

I loved it when he said he's blessed to have ancient trees. And explained how he's watched the garden grow over many years. I never miss a Kevin garden tour.

[@KS-ts3le]

Had I your garden, every morning coffee and every evening glass of wine would be spent in the garden. You have a talent with plants and of course flowers

[@marylopez7663]

Hi Kevin,good to see you this morning. I’m from Texas and we are preparing for hurricane Beryl. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property. I don’t blame you for not moving.! You have done a fantastic work every where and every single space in there looks amazing!!! ❤

[@ejaywithanay]

Hi Kevin! SOOO happy to see you this fine Sunday!

[@13soap13]

Glad to see your channel getting the recognition for all the hard work you achieve!

[@redrooster1908]

Amazing how huge the shrubs are now😮

[@adriaschumann9641]

I think you are a most amazing gentleman who would fit nicely in a Jane Austen novel, which I love. You are a non-intimidating chef; you design beautiful gardens; you are a wonderful pianist; you live with beauty (which I have insisted upon within our little family) and you share with us with generosity and kindness. Yep, you are a very special gentleman.

[@charmed2u2]

You are so talented. Cooking...gardening....flower arrangements...cleaning. I always tell my husband "Martha Stewart Has Nothing On Kevin". And I mean it!! You should have your own show on HGTV.

[@r.c.4016]

Kevin, this is a tour to which I have so looked forward. What a treat, your property is stunning and you are very talented. The flower arrangement is lovely as always. Love everything you share with viewers. 🥰💕❤️🩷❣️❤️💖💞💝🥰

[@louloustreasuretrove2122]

Hi Kevin, so nice to see your video this fine Sunday day. Thanks for sharing another fun and exciting video. Hope you have a super happy, safe and blessed week ahead.

[@Pomp67]

Kevin your Boxwood Garden is truly Beautiful! And, what's impressive was that it was asphalt!.... Bravo!

[@PAOLAVARISCO-nf6jv]

Happy sunday Kevin from Italy😊😊😊

[@gabrielasimmons2401]

Kevin you always make my day. Would you believe, that I never bought flowers for myself. Since I watch you, I always get flowers for me, when I get groceries. And I love it. ❤❤

[@uniquesbythecreek7071]

You are an amazing talented man. I get much joy watching your videos. The recipes you share are wonderful! Thanks for sharing your garden. I am envious in a good way ❤❤

[@rosiekeays9143]

I've just discovered your channel. It's so interesting and entertaining.

[@user-cv7fy8rs6m]

Kevin: you are such a kind and gentle soul...your gardens and sense of design are perfect!!! I am so very frustrated with my vegetable and flower garden this year. Nothing is growing and the heat has taken a toll. I live in South Carolina we have been dry and hot since the end of May. These past three weeks temps have been in the high 90's with a heat index over 100!!! I am gardening vicariously through your garden. Thank you for the inspiration...I guess there is always next year...right??!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@libertylady64]

Good Morning Kevin! We all have failures in the garden, I think it is just a little learning lesson from nature. I have been canning pickles and making sour kraut. My garden was a little late getting started, but it is going great now. Thanks for all you do!

[@along5925]

I'm so happy that you are the caretaker of your beautiful property. The moment you said you had that asphalt torn out, my heart swelled. You replaced it with elegant natural beauty. I pray you and your husband live and enjoy your home way into your nineties and way beyond! You deserve every moment of joy it gives you. Thank you for sharing it.

[@mlaiuppa]

ONLY four acres? I just did the math and I have a little over half a city lot which is a bit over an eighth of an acre, about 6,000 square feet, the house takes about 1,300 square feet plus there is a two car garage. So I put my kitchen garden in the front yard, four raised beds of about 4x9. I have planters around the edge for flowers, two grape vines and two fruit trees. I am developing a pollinator garden and the butterflies and bees have already discovered it. With four acres you have done a phenomenal job landscaping it considered what it was like when you first bought it. I think I originally found your website when you were renovating the house. Later I found your KZbin channel for recipes. I really enjoy all you’ve done and what you are doing. It is so relaxing and you’ve shown me some great techniques and recipes. Thank you so much for the tour and inviting me into your home virtually.

[@cherylhalverson2598]

good for you!

[@jazzander5314]

Lovely to see you Kevin! Usually, I'm watching you on television, so I can't leave a comment. Today, though, I out on my patio, in the garden. I live in Eureka, California, in amongst the Giant Redwoods next to the ocean. My Son started cooking when he was four, and he taught ME, that slicing mushrooms with an egg slicer is really quick! I still do that! I'm ALMOST finished restoring my Craftsman/ Spanish Revival home, and the gardens. Thank you for welcoming all of us to your home! Continued success and joy!❤

[@dolorescraig8322]

Your garden is beautiful and productive and a credit to you.❤❤

[@GoldenGarden9]

Kevin, your garden tour was so magical and healing! As an apt. dweller who has 1 Christmas cactus on life support your garden tours (and other aspects of your videos) bring me so much joy and inspiration. Thank you! 🧡

[@dameannemac]

Hi Kevin, boy! Have I had garden failures. The dear deer ate 150 of my oriental lilies. The chickens ate my snapdragons and poppies. Sciatica has prevented me from planting my annuals. Oh well, as you well know, no matter how experienced one is,Mother Nature is the top dog and decides what will make it. Have a great week. Looks like we are supposed to get a good amount of rain. 🎉

[@Beautifulblessing276]

Happy Sunday from the Bahamas Kevin. Your garden is absolutely amazing 🥰

[@xtinealto]

What a lovely video! I felt like I was there with you on your beautiful and peaceful property. Thank you Kevin!

[@charlottea.cavatica8423]

Sheer genius! Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your garden tour. It’s just magnificent! Lovage is my favorite herb and I have had the same plant for over 40 years. My new helper cut it down to the ground without knowing but it’s popped right back up. Funny you should wonder about using Hosta flowers in arrangements as I was looking at mine thinking the same! Will clip some later. Thank you dear Kevin, for all the joy you bring with every video. ❤❤❤Judie

[@katesinclair2645]

What a fantastic idea with the tall bushes. Your garden is simply beautiful. Thank you so much for the wonderful tips you provide.

[@mteresaemond]

Kevin I just can't get enough of your channel 😍 Your my very favorite ❤️ I'd love to see a pool party video with pool party goodies God Bless you all 🫂

[@user-ie3xm5ze8b]

I'm astonished at the size of the trees and the border from the time when you first planted them. The boxwood garden is spectacular. Your planning and patience in propagating so many bushes paid off beautifully. The vegetable garden chat was fun and informative. Your deep purple zinnias combined with the chartreuse greenery is one of my favorite garden color combinations. Enjoyed it all, Kevin! Thank you!

[@thefrenchgardener1865]

Beautiful garden....thank you for sharing. 'I love my gardens and am always working to create more enjoyable space. Isn't it funny how people will admire it all and then say, "Oh that's a lot of work"......I think it is worth it!

[@user-xk6iv5kq8m]

Thank you for sharing. It was a lovely tour. Everything was so beautiful especially the trees.

[@LornaD_CottageNecessities]

I’m so glad you shared how you propagated the boxwood. You added some details that I hadn’t thought of like grouping the cuttings. Your garden is a work of art.

[@BonnidoMac]

Thank you Kevin! I enjoyed the tour of your charming gardens very much and I’m always happy to tag along whenever you visit your kitchen and herb gardens! They are all such happy places!

[@aguagu6173]

Here is Japan. And zinnias in my yard are blooming, too. I'm yery happy to enjoy same flowers with you such a long distance😊

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

There are times when those closest to us do not share all our interests. Far more often than many would admit I think. So when I want to spend some wonderful time with a person that does shar3 my interests I turn to this channel. Thank You.

[@ma-ac5507]

Dear Kevin You created magic every where. I think that the garden reflect your personality totally. It grows giving grace as you continuing taking care of them and giving so much love. Thank you for sharing and telling how you transform the environment in a magical place. Until the next video. Take care. And as always a big hug from your friend Maxi.

[@jandabney9010]

Thank you so much for today's casual video. It's a refreshing break from the hurricane stress and heat along the Gulf Coast right now.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I adore your show! You are one of my favorite shows on gracious living. Looking at your beautiful home and hearing your English pronunciations triggers some happy childhood memories of living in the Northeast US in a Victorian home with my English father and American mother. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipes and household management tips.

[@sharonmatheson5948]

Touring your lovely garden was a peaceful and relaxing way for me to spend my Sunday afternoon. Thank you.
