- Take a walk through the garden and enjoy the early season rhododendron blooms. We've had some rough weather and few frost damaged buds but these plants are tough and I fully expect a grand display over the next 2 months.

Hi Mike- thank you for taking the time to put this out- we all have missed you! Take your time-it's not a cut and dry process-find and take joy when you can...allow yourself to feel...this goes for your wife as well as those two beautiful daughters. Today is my dads birthday (lost him 2 years ago) that old farmer would have turned 80 down here with us. But what brings me solace is knowing that he is with HIS MOM & DAD-brother, sister, nieces and nephews that went before him celebrating in heaven. Boy did they know how to celebrate, didn't even need a reason! lol Your dad is with you as you go through this...please know this, one day I can tell you how I know...but I do know...they stay with us until were ok-then they come back when we call out to them. In our heads of course, that would be weird if we did it in public-prolly lock us up! ha! My thoughts have been with you and your family...take care- Tonia
Haha, they probably should lock me up. I like how you see it and I believe the same thing. I think the warmer weather is breaking the ice again.
I don't think it's in our heads. It's in our souls. They remain part of who we truly are.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us! I've missed you and the updates. I hope you are recovering from your loss. Enjoy the beauty of spring and heal.
What happened
This annual tradition of the rhodies waking up is fantastic. This means just a couple more weeks and spring will arrive up here!
Missed ya, brother.
Hey thanks! Yeah I guess I hadn’t considered you guys in Alaska, still trekking through snow. It’ll all be over soon with sun blaring in your window at midnight, haha
I bet you can't wait for spring.
@@MikeKincaid79 lol I don't think I could handle that
Thank you for the update. prayers for you and the family. ❤👍🏼
Another update coming soon! Good to see you again here.
So good to hear from you again. Really love your videos. Thank you!❤
You are so welcome Julie!
What a gorgeous place you have created. An inspiration to us all!
That means a lot, thanks John
@@MikeKincaid79 Oops - It's James Wegner here sorry. I guess I logged in with business login... No bigge.
Welcome back 🎉
Does this mean I have to stay back now? 😆
@MikeKincaid79 Yes unless you want me to torture you until you get back to work. 😆
Welcome back Mike, we've missed you! Beautiful blooms.
Early, mid, late season, even the one you did mid-winter this never gets old. I see you've got some shorts too. Thanks.
Best to you and your family.
Glad you enjoy them. I’ll try to post more this summer.
Wow. Thank You! Really really Impressive!!!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome update thank you !
You bet
Beautiful! 🌺🌸
Thank you! 😊
Mike, we've missed you! Hi from Poland!
I'm working on getting back to it. I'll be back. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
Spring has definitely sprung. Mike is showing his rhododendrons again. Absolutely stunning.
Thanks for the tour! Nice to see you/hear you again!
Glad ur back missed the videos hope ur enjoying the new house and thanks for the walk around so beautiful can’t wait till they all come to full bloom again glad ur back
Hoping to be in the house in another 6 weeks or so. Things got put on hold through the winter but it's all firing back up again. More blooms to come.
Beautiful arrangement in the Teddy Bear area Mike!
Thanks, we love that bed!
Mike, I was worried since you hadn't put out a new CZcams video in quite a while. After reading several of the comments below, I now understand. Losing a close loved one takes a heavy toll on us, and we need time to grieve their loss. I will keep you, Shelley, Ally, and Emily in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏
I loved seeing your beautiful rhododendron blooms, and I'm looking forward to seeing more blooms and propagation videos in the future. You inspire me to try new things. Thank you so much. ~Margie🤗🧡💚💛❤💙💜
It's always good to hear from you Margie. Yeah, it's been a tough fall and winter but I'm slowly coming out of it. Thanks for all your prayers.
Finally, a new video from Mike Kincaid!!! We'd like a house tour next!! We've missed you
How do you remember all the different names?
I’m insane 😆
Thank you for your time. This tour is virtual Forrest bathing. I’m set for the day! That Taurus is a must get!
It’s so lovely while in bloom!
🎉 Mike my friend!!! 😀 😀😀😀😀 You're alive! I and we (the gardeners) enjoyed your video today so much. Prayers for you and your family. 🤍
Thanks so much
Beautiful
Thank you!
Hey hey Mike! Good to see you back good buddy. The Rocky of the horticulture world
😆
Good to hear from you.
I just love your rhododendron garden! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Beautiful plants 🙌🏻💖
Thank you! 😊
@@MikeKincaid79 you have inspired me to try Rhododendrons again🙌🏻😂
YES!
Looking good Mike.
Hey Paul, good to hear from you.
Ahh Mike, so good to see another video from your good self, your landscape is already looking fab! gonna look amazing when all those bud go pop! Can I just say, your passion for Rhododendrons is an inspiration! They really are the king of shrubs
Yes they are. Glad you enjoyed it. Are you over in the UK? Just asking, based on your user name.
@@MikeKincaid79 I am Mike, in the far south west, in cornwall, its literally a Rhododendron lovers dream here, so many stunning gardens with excellent varities!
You've been missed! I've been praying for you and your family as I know much is going on in your life.
Really appreciate you. I'm getting back to it slowly but surely.
Beautiful plants omg 😱
Yes! We love them.
At the end !!!!!! Long Vacations Mike !!!!! ..... 🤪😜👽
Lol
So glad to see you again!
Beautiful!
I am so impressed! You have created a magnificant forest garden. And to remember all the names of your rhodies, too ☆☆☆
Thanks Linda. I'm still a long way off from where I'm trying to get this place, but I'll just keep plugging away at it.
Thanks for sharing your garden, Mike. It has been an odd winter/spring here in the PNW for sure. I hope all is going well.
You could say that again. From warm days to freezing weather and now it’s beautiful today. I’m not sure what to think, lol. If only we had a little more rain but that’s ok. I’ll just fire up the sprinklers early.
@MikeKincaid79 I wish I had the water for that. My well goes dry in the summer, so I have to stick to dry gardening. I look at it as survival of the fittest 🤣
Good to see a video up. Those Rhododendrons will be awesome soon! Take care.
Thanks 👍 you too
Welcome back Mike! Thanks for checking in! Rhodies are beautiful! House update next please! Larry & Martha
Good to hear from you. I’ll work on an update at some point soon.
Great to see you back Mike i thought you had quit, i hope things are going great for you now mate been a fan for a while from Australia i really like your channel 👍👍
I appreciate it Mick. Been busy around here but trying to get back into it. Stay warm this winter.
Thanks again Mike for another great video. We love seeing your garden and also seeing you. God bless you and keep u. Continue doing what you do best my friend.
Thanks! 🙏
That red is so vivid, it's blowing out the camera!!! WOW
I know, lol. I need a better camera!
Yessss! Glad to have you back! Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you and I love them all, glad you are ok, let me know if you need to talk, love to you and all the family💖💖💖
Thanks Glenda, always good to hear from you
Thanks Mike
Soo good to see you❤❤
Welcome back
Thanks Mike. I love Rhodies but, my water situation is somewhat limited. I just can't justify a major irrigation instillation running on my neighbors well. Are big tree Rhodies more drought tolerant?
It’s best if you can find a shady spot that’s at least 20 to 30 feet from the trunk of a tree. That way it gets the shade but not the tree roots sucking all the ground moisture up. Mulch deeply after you plant. You shouldn’t have to water as much. Yes, larger tree like rhododendrons seem to do well with less water once established.
Hi Mike. I’ve missed your videos. Saw this one and the one 6 months ago. Hope you and your family are well. I know you’re busy with the new home. Please keep the propagation videos coming. I’m in Reading PA. Zone 6 B. Thanks for all your help.
Thanks Marie. I’m working on a few videos now.
Love how your garden is looking. It has a serious State Park appearance to it. Can’t wait to see how the orchard looks this year.
Thanks, that's what I'm going for with this place. I've made a few changed in the orchard. I'll have to do an update on it.
ehy m8! good to see ya post again. jah blessings to you!
Haha, there you are! Better get those green giant vids going
@@MikeKincaid79 ha! that's right! you know im peepin those in the background!
Hi Mike I love my rhodies but need some advise. I have a row of "Roseum Elegans" growing under my livingroom window and would like to have them grow up to the bottom of the window. Problem is that they appear to be spreading sideways instead of up. Would love to send you a picture so you can see what I'm talking about and advise.
I know what you’re talking about. I have that same variety. The best way to encourage upright growth is to prune the bottom branches back so more energy goes to the middle and higher branches.
So beautiful! Everytime I watch a tour from you I try to decide on a different favorite but man it's impossible. Taurus is a stunner, and the hardiness of it makes it very tempting. Still love the fire rim tho, and the teddy bear and the...
All great choices. It really is hard to choose just one.
@@MikeKincaid79 I'm looking at gibralter. I just want to make sure it's a rhodie and not an azalea. Do you have any of these or know a good place o line to get them?
Mike - thank you so much for starting my day with a beautiful tour! Our gardens here up the river from you are starting to flourish. My creeping phlox are just full, and that is so beautiful. We have had little rain this spring, very different from the last few years, but a little hose watering and things are looking nice. The new forsythia we propigated are just the nicest view. I was a little skeptical about the small rooted basically twigs I plante last fall, but with more than a foot of new growth this spring, winter had the just right effect on them.
Keep the videos coming. We Love it!
Lowell
Yes, it’s been a dry spring but nothing a little extra watering won’t cure. How about these last few cold nights, brrrrrr
@@MikeKincaid79 But my gardening in my greenhouse is making pretty plants! Woo Hoo!🤩
Welcome back,we missed you
It doesn't matter how many times you show us the same plants every year the tour never gets old You could walk those paths every month to show us and every month it would be sensational Could be because I cant grow Rhodes in my cold weather and partly because I can hear the excitement in your voice when you explain the characteristics of these beauties You make them come alive like I'm standing beside you looking and touching them I hope you're back for a good length of time Hope Shelli does another video on her chickens and possibly some garden pics I miss her videos as well Stay Safe and Happy and Welcome Back 🇨🇦🦩
Glad to hear from you Liz. I’ll hound Shellie about getting going again.
Beautiful! Love the different colors! You have such an eye for planning your gardens. Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thanks Pat! It sure is turning out nice over the years. I have to give some of the credit to sheer luck on the planning part, haha
Welcome back! We have missed you. I found the Platypodum (sp?) intriguing with it's big round leaves. To me, foliage is as important as bloom. Thanks for the tour. How are the figs doing? Without intruding, a peek at the house? You were working so hard on it, would enjoy seeing the fruits of your labors. Best wishes!
Yes! The foliage means as much to me too. I think that's why I love the large leaved rhododendrons best. The house was actually put on hold for about 5 months but we started things back up again a few weeks ago.
Hello mate. Hope you are ok mate. Lovely to hear your voice again. Please take care of yourself and your three girls. All the best Joe 👍
Thanks Joe, I appreciate you buddy.
So glad to see this new video Mike. Wondering if you know how many rhododendrons you have planted on your property. You have your own beautiful established park-like landscape alongside your new home. Thinking of you all as we step into a new season of growth and sunshine.
Thanks Cindy. There are hundreds at least. Maybe sometime we’ll have to go through and count them all, haha
So many beautiful roadies!
I have a clematis (Dr Ruppel) setting flower buds, in mid April, doesn't usually until the beginning of June.
We're finding similar things going on in the garden this year. More sun, less rain. I worry about the native plants and vegetation but I love the warmer and sunnier weather. I suppose the figs will like it.
Hey... it’s been a long time we didn’t hear from you. I was wondering what happened to you. You know I only subscribed three blogs I really like around the world and you’re one of them. You guys are awesome, you guys really know what you’re talking about. Thanks...😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, I’m honored! Better not let you down.
Hi Mike
Good to see you're back and a lot to look after with your Rhodes. So sorry for your loss with your dad. I hope that we'll have a update of your new house, all the best to Shelley and the girls.
Carol
Thanks Carol. I appreciate you. I’m getting back on track slowly.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks for your reply and take it easy and gently, all the best. Carol
Hi Mike! Great to see you online again and the Rhodos are looking good. Similar weather over here, very changeable, still getting frosts and storms but at least the espalier apples have some flowers
Yeah, the weather is having mood swings over here this year. We're going from freezing, to 80F, and back down to freezing again. So far everything is pushing through it, except a few rhododendron buds.
I've missed your videos sooooo much, will we get another update on the new house?
Yes, at some point. Glad to hear from you Nancy.
i was wondering where have you been. i guess you were wrapped up in the house. good to see you again mike.
Wrapped up in lots of things. Good to hear from your Carmine.
Nice!!! 😎👍👍
Nice to see you back. You taught me to take cuttings.
Wow, I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago. I'm glad you're back. I think I'm going to get some rhodies for a spot I didn't know what to do with - it's shady in the afternoon.
Sounds like a good spot. Mulch and water well through the first few years. A good slow release fertilizer that is formulated for acid loving plants is a good idea too. Good luck!
Happy to see you :)
could you say what zone you are in?
Western Washington State, zone 8b
Hi Mike can rhododendron grow in Rockport tx?
Yes, some will grow well there. Just make sure they get shade, mulch well, and keep watered through the summer
Beautiful tour! Do you have any tips on propagating a flowering almond? I have tried and tried with no success.
Never tried it but if I come across a tree I’ll put my mind to it.
Long time no see. I have been waiting for some video from you.
Oh, hello stranger! 🤗 Good to see you Mike! The rodies are beautiful can't wait for the big show! How is the house coming along? Don't be a stranger anymore! Hugs to you and your family ❤️🤗
Hey Camelia! Good to hear from you. I’m trying to get back on track. More tours to come.
So glad to see you back ! I wonder if those lovely reds would grow in my Arizona zone 8a
Possibly. I’m from Phoenix and it would be a definite no for that area, but they might grow at a cooler and higher elevation.
@@MikeKincaid79 I had no idea you were from the valley. If you ever get back this way to the Prescott area let me know We'll buy you lunch 😀. We are 1/2 hour from Prescott and at about 4700'
What state do you live in?
Western Washington. Zone 8b
Thanks for the walk-through, Mike. That last one is one of my favorites. The two-tone, large, smooth petals are so beautiful. For some reason, the word “parfait” comes to mind when I see that one. The deep red variety…striking! And some of the lighter ones were so delicate looking. I still say you should be hosting events there!
Someday we may open it up for tours. Got a long way to go still.
Awesome, thank you for the tour. Only my Mardi Gras Rhododendron is in full bloom, so I’m glad I can enjoy your until the rest of mine start to bloom. 😊
Nice. I don't have that variety yet but a friend down the road has it. Maybe I need to get some cuttings.
You should. I like it because the flowers are beautiful and the leaves are brown on the underside like a magnolia tree or teddy bear. Yhe two tone leaves just add an extra element to the cultivar.
Miss your videos Mike .
Do you sell starter plants?
Not at this time but eventually
@@MikeKincaid79 Dear Mike I got Purple Gem Rhododendron from my local Walmart they had them outside. I gave them Rhododendron fertilizer and watered them in it rained the next day. When I looked at them today the blooms went from light purple to a brown. What did I do wrong? They say they are for my zone 5 and go down to -20. the temperature went down last night to 21deg.
Thank you Mike!! So good to hear you again!! Hopefully we will again very soon, and perhaps even get to see you as well like before the hiatus! Looking forward to it!! Question; I moved to the East Coast, zone 7b. nowhere near any brackish water, but definitely lots of rain and clay. I have both sun and shade. Which rhododendrons would you suggest for out here?? I don’t see many of them, and owners don’t know the names when I do see rhodes, but since there are some at all it gives me hope!!
There are rhododendron species that grow wild over there so you should be able to find a few at least. Just look up rhododendron species on the east coast and they should pop up.
Hi brother. What is your finger,s tendon position
Not sure I understand the question.
You have a really beautiful place, I was curious if honeybees like any of those
Yes! We get so many bees around here. In the spring, on a hot day, you hear nothing but bees buzzing around. The cool thing is that there are all kinds of native bees along with some honey bees.
Hi Mike
Wow, the rhododendrons are looking fantastic. How is the house build ? Been going? Nice to see you back on CZcams hope everything is okay.🎉
It’s all cranking right now. Hoping to move in this June.
Hi Mike, I just jumped onto the band wagon. I live in Phoenix AZ right in the middle of the hottest heat. New gardener and all, besides roses what kind of flowers would be hardy enough to plant here.
Mexican bird of paradise. Probably my all time favorite flowering plant in the desert. I’m from Phoenix so I totally understand the heat. Oleander is another if you want larger shrubs that create privacy.
Welcome back.
Do you just have all these names in your head? Or do you have like, a list you carry around with you?
They’re in my head. I know, I have issues 😆
Im loving your Rhodies Mike!! I live in landown under Tasmania! We have lots of Rhododendron places here! Hope to connect at some point soon to talk plants Mike! Cheers Neysan
I visited Hobart, Tasmania back in January 2001, when I was in the Navy. Beautiful place and people. Only wish I'd been this into plants back then and visited some gardens.
Oh wow u made it to Tassie that is impressive! Mike do you have a website for your nursery?
Cheers Neysan
Nice to see you posting again. I was about to put you on a milk carton! Lol, kidding kinda 😊
😆🤣
Rhododendrons are majestic guys!, to bad we have such an alkaline soil and cant grow them...
You can always amend the soil
If don't already have one you should get a drone and do aerial videos of your whole property while in bloom!
Don't have one but thats a fantastic idea!
Welcome back Mike! Ypu were missed. Your garden tour made me so envious since I can grow Rhodes in Southern Cal zone 10A. Thanks to you I have growing roses from cuttings. Will be trying petunias next. Looking forward to an update on your house when you are ready. Wishing all of the best to you and your family!
I knew you propagated these from past videos but had no idea you had so many growing in your yard.
Gotta be close to 1000 of them, with plans to double that or more.
Welcome back Mike Kincaid.
Thanks, I’m going to try to do better for you on here.
Hi Mike. Beautiful rhodies. Can you propagate rhodes?
Yes! That’s what I mainly do. Take semihardwood cutting in late summer and use bottom heat through the winter. I go into great detail in the paid videos on my website.
Thank you For your Rhodo Garden Tour-I LOVE THOSE GIANT BEAUTIFUL MAGESTIC TREES IN THE BACKGROUND! Wrote down the name of the Taurus Red and Teddy Bear-that REALLY IS A NICE CLUSTER THERE-Also nice to know Taurus can handle 17 degrees It’s 30 degrees as u type this out-ITS MAY10th zone 5(zone map may have changed again so I could be a six now-that’s definitely New! Gardening helps one to heal one’s soul-hope to plant some successful Mammoth Sunflowers for my Dads memory( his Favorite I found out just before moving to heaven now Six years ago, working on a memory garden where mom and I can sit and be with the plants. Some of her plants are about in my yard. My Red(unknown Name Rhodo got Munched on 2 years ago -don’t know how to get those front Flower heads to Grow back-least the back half still blooms! Healing takes time Mr Mike! But your fathersLOVE will be with you always!
Thank you for your understanding.
I love your garden tours! I am not sure of the names of my rhododendrons as they were here when I bought my place. Love them all.
I have a whole row of a pastel purple 12-15 feet tall. One is growing awkwardly due to a overgrown tree we took out a couple years ago and I hope it will fill in now that it has some light. I also found a plant tag that the bark had grown over…it was unreadable.
Could you tell me the name of your rhododendron at 16:19?
I couldn’t hear, and rewinded video.
In the video, I called it 'Big Sam x Lem's Cameo', which is the parentage. The given name for that plant or "cross" is 'Naselle' if you're looking for it at a nursery.
@@MikeKincaid79
Thank you! Will be looking for it 😊
No hew house construction update Mike? ohhhh.... maybe a quick update in the next video?...
We'll get there
Hello, Mike. Your gardens are positively stunning. Because of you, I started my very first rhododendron propagation project, last year. The cuttings seem to have survived the winter. I do have a question, though. I have read that rhododendrons are extremely toxic to humans and pets. I've never seen you wear gloves and see how you love smelling their fragrances. 😊 How terrified should I be? Many blessings to you and your family and may your heart heal from your loss. My prayers are with you. I started a memorial garden of flowers and plants to help me through grieving after the passing of my Brother, Father, and Mom. There's just something in the process of choosing their favourite colour or flower or bush that brings joy. ❤
Thank you so much Darlene. I'm getting there slowly but surely. As far as the rhododendrons, I've been working with them for close to 19 years and I'm still here to talk about it. No third arms either! Hahaha. No worries on the toxic part unless you're planning to eat them. I touch them, rub all over them when pruning, and never had a problem, not even the slightest rash. Interestingly enough, honey made from rhododendron pollen is called "mad honey". It's hallucinogenic and is harvested in regions like Nepal, where rhododendrons grow all over and are native to the area. They use the honey for spiritual and cultural purposes. Fun fact.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you for taking the time to reply. You are a funny soul. While rhododendrons are beautiful, they won't be on my menu. 😊 That was quite the fun fact you added. Hahaha. Take care and be well.
