Garden Hike
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 เม.ย. 2022
Hello gardeners! I'm Kevin and I've been hiking around yards for over 30 years. I live and garden in the northern plains growing plant material hardy to zones 3 and 4. Sharing gardens, and teaching viewers how to maintain them is my goal. We'll talk about gardens filled with annuals, perennials, vegetables, shrubs, trees and more. And we won't forget the many projects that happen behind the scenes that make our gardens beautiful and landscapes, WOW! I love the outdoors, the exercise and the unique people who also love to garden.

Awesome work!
Are these also considered baby spruce trees?
Not a term I’ve ever come across. Dwarf or miniature are the two most common terms used for plants that stay much smaller.
Hello! how old is the Hoopsii? Thank you ;)
It was 5-6 feet tall when I planted it so likely 6-8 years at a growing range. I’ve had it in the ground for about the same amount of time, so around 15 yrs.
We’re already going to get snow😭
Thanks for your videos. Which battery powered hedge trimmer would you suggest? Thanks, again!
I really like the one shown in the video. DeWalt 26” 60V Max Hedge Shears.
I tend to leave everything until March onwards so that all wildlife can live amongst us folaige and stems whilst protecting the plant from any frosts etc.
i was going to say the same. leave the stuff til next year. give bugs a chance to live.
At 1:58 what is the plant called that you are cutting back? Thanks
It is one of the Liatris varieties. Possibly Kobold. Often referred to as Blazing Star or Gayfeather.
@@gardenhikethank you and I enjoy your content.
Your garden is fantastic

Ben bunu izlememişim. Çok teşekkür ederim. Bitkimi (hakuro Nishiki) tanımak istiyorum. 8b deyim, sıcaklık sınırındayım. Yaşamasını istiyorum. 6. Bölgede hiç ağaç olmayan bir yerde ağaçlandırma çalışması yapıyoruz. Türkiyedeyiz ve sizin bahçeniz ve bilginiz benim için çok değerli. Sert kış koşullarını bilmiyorum ama ekibe yardım etmek istiyorum. Onların anlattıkları bana yardımcı olmuyor. Sizin bahçenizde görerek öğreniyorum. Teşekkürler.
So much valuable information. Your channel is best gardening channel on TH-cam. Thank you
I just subbed. I love your content and all the landscape ideas.

I'm wanting to know what state you live in, nice backround
North Dakota
Beautiful work!
Looks great! I love your videos and all of your creative ideas!
Just found your channel as I was searching for info on transplanting this bush. I have one that I had wanted to transplant. I wish mine was that easy, it took me about an hour just to dig it out. :) Though I am new to working in a yard, and this had been in the same spot for about 10 years. So yeah, think thick anchoring roots! I hope it's survive it! Ps. great channel, I've subscribed.
Foreground middle ground and background. You’ve mastered that in a fantastic way. I was taught that in art class 40 years ago ! All your rock beds, shrub and flower beds are scaled to perfection. I think you were taught the same in your art classes.
Very nice.
Thanks Kevin! I really enjoy your videos. You’re in a colder zone than me and i find it really interesting and enlightening some of the techniques you use. I really appreciate your use of so many interesting evergreens. I always stop by for a visit when you post something. I like that you have a nurseryman’s understanding of plants and their growth. Your landscape looks great. I’d love to see a drone view one day if ever play with that toy. Keep it coming!
Glad you are enjoying the videos. Great to hear! I’ve been going back and forth on getting a drone. I also think it would be a great way to highlight/share mine, and other gardens. Maybe you’ve convinced me 😊. Thanks for the nice comments!
Hello, Kevin! Interesting video, thank you. It gave me some ideas about what to do with my much younger junipers. I hope you don't mind me asking about that pinus aristata specimen to the left of the juniper. Is it a Sherwood Compact variety? How long has it been in your garden to reach this size? Thank you in advance!
It’s Joe’s Bess Bristlecone Pine, Pinus longaeva ‘Joe’s Bess”. I believe it was about half that size when I planted it in 2016 (maybe 2017). I have a Sherwood Compact in another area and this variety is definitely growing slower and holding that nice tight shape.
@gardenhike, thank you for the reply. I'm debating adding P. Longaeva Sherwood Compact to my garden and trying to get as much information as possible. It would be great to see a pine tour from your garden if you ever feel like telling about your experience with Pinus genus. I really enjoyed your spuce tour!
Great idea on a pine video. Thanks. I’ll plan on that for next season. Below is a link to a video where I briefly showed the Sherwood Compact I have growing (at about the 4:30 point). th-cam.com/video/kFpz4ZQ5BoI/w-d-xo.html
Looks great, good ideas. Very inspiring Kevin. Look forward to next video. Thank you
Wow, it looks great! : )
Looks good
Really interesting video on junipers, rocks and displaying plants to their best advantage. Keep ‘em coming!
Clever fix.
Are these good for erosion control on a steep slope? I'm in the new zone 7a.
Yes, spreading junipers will work, but keep in mind they need a lot of sun for long term success. On a steep slope, you may want to consider a faster growing shrub with a strong rhizome or suckering habit. Sumac, Dogwood and Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle (Diervilla) come to mind. Or use a combination of Juniper and other plants.
Thanks! I'm avoiding honeysuckle, but will look at the others you mentioned in combination with some riprap to reduce erosion as much as possible.@@gardenhike
Looks fantastic. I'm going to try this too!!
Was that a hydrangea tree next to you??
At the very beginning when approaching the Sedum, the tree in front of me is an Autumn Gold Ginkgo, and behind my left shoulder is an Emerald Spire Flowering Crabapple.
You have a beautiful property. Your videos are so helpful and inspiring! Thank you.
Love your garden!!! 😍😍
I have most of the trees that you mentioned in this video, although they are bonsai trees. Just found this channel. Where abouts do you live? I am in zone 4, so these are very appropriate for me.
Northern Great Plains, North Dakota, U.S.
@@gardenhike Hey neighbor, I'm in Minnesota. You have a beautiful yard.
I rewatched this video and noticed that you never mentioned how these plants get water in this area, especially Bobo hydrangea. Thank you!
Initially, the homeowner hand watered the new plants. The first three to four weeks is the most important as the new roots “bite in” to the new soil. After that, normal rainfalls will be enough to keep the plants healthy throughout the growing season in my area. Some additional hand watering may be necessary during prolonged dry periods.
I love your space. Thanks for sharing how you keep up with everything. Soo peaceful! ❤
Nice property sir! How old is the Canadian cherry tree? The ones here in Detroit area never live longer than 20 years with black knot,,humid summers here.
About 20-25 years old. It’s less humid here so easier to keep it in check with pruning. I came across one earlier this summer that had a trunk 3 times the size of the one shown in the video; couldn’t believe it. I used to live in Minnesota with that higher humidity and remember how severe the black knot could be.
Awesome information. Thank you. 👍 🌳
Hi Kevin, what a beautiful garden and location you have, and with that back drop of those amazing spuces are just jaw dropping. How long have you been living there to create such beauty? uk.
About 14 years now. The spruce that you see surrounding the property were about 10-12 feet tall when I moved here, planted about 10 years prior. The Green Ash and Canada Red Chokecherry shown in the video were also established upon my arrival. Pretty much everything else you see, I planted over the years. Still a bit of a mystery to me how it all turned out so nice. Glad I don’t have to grab the shovel quite as much anymore though 😊. Glad you enjoyed it….fun to share. Cheers
I just got some starts and potted them up, they are doing ok but recently the leaves look wilted but green. They aren't as thick and robust. Lighting isn't an issue and ive tried less water but still having thinner wimpy leaves..the lighting is in south window(veiled) here in IL..any ideas would be appreciated, i love these plants!!
The cuttings that did best that I highlighted in the video received full sun, next to a window, for at least a few hours a day. They also did better when grown on the dry side. Often very dry, before I would completely hydrate the roots/soil again. If the starts you received were started in water, the transplant shock can take some time. I would try putting some plastic over the tops to keep the humidity high, as they root into the soil. Best of luck.
@gardenhike thank you!!
I love your property with all of the beautiful evergreen trees 🌲👍
Hi Kevin. You must have such fun limbing up all your tall trees. Yes sometimes it’s very necessary. You do such a great job. ❤
Great Video.
So informative and inspiring. Thank you for this video. Looking forward to the next video.
What zone are you in?
Zone 4
Thank you for all your great videos! Where is your garden may I ask …. Which part of the world? It is so beautiful …
Northern Great Plains, North Dakota, U.S.
Oh wow, I will hopefully be moving to ND soon. I had no idea this was possible there.
@@gardenhike thank you!
Beautiful tour❤❤❤❤
I love when you release a new subject! Thank you….. so relaxing and informative
Love your videos and enthusiasm around the yard! It was fun to see the before and after pruning! Thank you for sharing :)
What do you do with all the branches you cut off?
I have a small “brush box” for smaller branches where they slowly degrade. For larger branches, my city also has a collection site for trees/woody brush. They grind all the material into mulch that is re-sold to the community.
Gorgeous gardens! How much property do you have? I love the limbed up look and do that for all my trees and shrubs. Thanks for sharing.
Our property is 2 Acres
@@gardenhike Thanks for the response. Love all your videos!
