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.

I never dreamed my Aloe Vera would get this large! It was easier than I expected to make divisions, cuttings, and transplant “pups” into new pots.

Very informative! Thank you.
Awesome video
I have a sedum that is getting choked out too. You’ve inspired me- thank you.
That's a beautiful crop of garlic. What's that mulch?
Excelsior wood shavings. I used to work in a garden center that sold a lot of concrete statuary and this is what the manufacturer used for packing material to avoid damages. Rather than throw it, I used it for mulch. It lasted about three seasons before completely breaking down.
Hermoso 💕😍
Your accent! Love it.
Thank you for sharing. Have never heard of this one!
Loved watching!
Excellent advice all around
What a grass!

Just lovely. Thank you for guiding us through this paradise.
Amazing share Kevin. Thank you 🙏🏼
These gardens are stunning. I wish they were more well known than. I only learned of them because I was living in South Dakota several years ago and was looking for places to go see. Beautiful
Never heard of this garden. Thank you for sharing
Bravo! I have a baby blue eyes blue spruce, horstman blue atlas cedar and van pelts blue false cypress! I love blue evergreen foliage for a front yard moon garden concept 🌙
So helpful. Thank you so much
how close should a taylor's sunburst be planted next to a fence? is it appropiate also as a foundaation plant?
They get about 8-10 feet wide, so I’d recommend around 5-6 feet away. I think they work well as a foundation plant since it is a smaller conifer, but that can also depend on the condition or type of foundation you have.
I really appreciate the foresight you have to document as you go so we can really see the progress! Just curious, how many acres is your property? I'm trying to figure how to garden our 1/3 acre!
I’m on 2 acres. If you factor out the space the house, driveway, shelterbelt, etc. take up, I’d put the landscape beds/gardens utilizing about 1 acre. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Very informative, thank you. Looking forward to your next video.
You don't shear only needles on pine....prune the new candles in the Spring to control growth.
Off topic Kevin, but the deer have ravaged my Brandon cedar trees. i got too lazy in the fall the cover them. Should I replace them or is there a chance they would fill back in. The top 2 to 3 feet look like sticks, the bottom 1-2 ft are covered in snow, although they are trying to shovel to get at the bottom portions now.
Bummer! In my experience, it takes a very long time (several years or never) for them to fill back out to look like they were. I usually say take them out if they are planted in a "prime time" area. If they're in an out-of-the-way location, there's nothing wrong with seeing what happens.
Nooooo! It looked so cute like that 😂

Fantastic video, Garden Hike. Looking forward to your next upload. I smashed that thumbs up button on your content. Keep up the excellent work! Your approach to rejuvenating the golden ninebark was impressive. Have you considered how seasonal variations might affect the timing of your pruning schedule in different climates?
If I understand your question correctly, then yes. The timing can vary greatly depending on one's growing zone, so I usually stress the importance of dormant plants for rejuvenation. Gardeners can then time their pruning accordingly. Thanks for the thumbs up 👍👍. It's great to hear you enjoyed the video!
Very nice.
I love seeing the seasonal progression on all your videos.
hi from canada love your channel
Hello from North Dakota! I visited the International Peace Gardens at our border this spring. I’ll have a video out on that soon sharing the day’s hike. Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos.
Love your videos, thank you. So inspiring, so informative and so well articulated and edited. Very professionally done. Looking forward to your next video.
I appreciate it! Thank you for watching.
Great work and thanks for the cutting tips!
Love ur videos!! I’ve watched a lot of them more than 3 times. My latest was ur video s on pruning the red twig dogwood. I “found” 2/3 huge ones in our wetlands just this past week and it is extremely dull looking so I’m gonna put ur teaching to work 🤞🏽 I’m only a bit worried that there’s no place for me to firmly stand/stoop/move in that area since it’s so muddy. Should I wait for the ground to freeze? NY Z6B TIA
👍 Sure, you could wait until it freezes up. Sounds like a good plan. Great to hear you’re enjoying the videos!
Great work as always!
Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. I’m a sub now.
Do thos stupms come back? I doubt they are dead just citting them back with established root systems they wpuld have had
After two years, they have not. But it would depend on the type of shrub. In my area, any conifer/evergreen that is cut back that hard (like in the video) nand then covered up (no light) is not going to come back. A deciduous shrub like a lilac, ninebark, etc. would likely be able to push through. In that case, you could put a small piece of black poly over the stump, and then cover it with soil, to kill it.
I have bought a home in which there are several overgrown Arborvitae which are probably 20 feet high and could be the same diameter. I need to cut these back and based on the size how much could I conceivably cut back? I am in Dallas so was thinking of hiring a service in the early spring to do the work because they are too tall for a regular ladder. I would like to maintain the pyramid shape if possible. Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated
The largest I’ve worked on was about 15 feet tall and 10 feet wide. I was able to take off about 4 feet on the top before I felt I would start destroying the look and form (this was a loose form variety like American Arborvitae, or Techny). On the sides, only about 12-18” before you start getting into branches without leaves, which may not rebound if scalped too deep. I’ve seen a couple examples where homeowners have cut their Arborvitaes back from the top by at least half. It did not kill them but they looked pretty tough. The form was completely ruined. I would have just taken them out at that point. Hope this helps, good luck!
@@gardenhike My emphasis is not really on the height as much as the diameter. I have heard that a rule of thumb is 20% is ok to cut back so would 3 feet be too much. The Arborvitae's in question butt up against a fence with one about 50% visible from my home and one side and the back along the alley and driveway. My question is it possible to cut back somewhat further along the alley and driveway understanding that it might take longer to grow back and not so much from the front exposing as much.
Without seeing it I can’t say for sure (and even then it’s sometimes hard to predict). Three feet sounds like maximum to me, and I personally wouldn’t go over 20%. It can take a long time, or never, for growth to rebound when you go too severe. Especially if it is more shaded where you are cutting back (like next to a fence).
Thanks so much for the input
Really interesting, informative and inspiring. Thank you. We had a French drain installed in early spring, the excavator made a big mess at side of house and into yard. We lost two mature trees, moved two smaller trees, lost many plants and both neighbours suffered damage to their property too. Excavator was hired to complete job, installation, repairs, to add sod and top soil but after drain was installed he informed us by text he wasn’t finishing job as he agreed to and left us in lurch to find a landscaping company who would take it on. Waited months for job to be complete and it wasn’t done well and repairs were not done to neighbours. Big disappointment for $27,000.00. Sod is not doing well, browning, lots of sink holes etc, very disturbing and disappointing. Sure wish we lived in your area to have a professional do the job right.
Just found you on YT from your Colorado spruce tour. I love your landscape designs, especially the incorporation of evergreens! My 2 year old daughter watches with me, and she loves looking out for Bandit 😄 we were excited to see a new video from "Mr. Kevin" tonight!
😊 How sweet! I’ll do my best to get Bandit on some more videos soon! (But he’s not much for going outside in the winter). Here’s a couple more videos with Bandit cameos you can watch while you wait (the potato video he’s at the very end, but worth the wait 😁). th-cam.com/video/8oHw55faowY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/PXCt32Hv_zs/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
🏡 I'm taking your advice from a previous video . I'm cutting back my Boomerang Lilacs back in the spring to hopefully rejuvenate them ! They have never done well as far as blooming and I can't afford to replace them. You are so reassuring ,calm and enthused about your ideas . I'm so looking forward to blooms and bushy growth. They look beautiful all through the 3 seasons! Thank you !
I’ve got a Sester’s dwarf and am wondering if I should wrap it (loosely) in burlap. You said that once a spruce loses a branch it never grows back and now I’m a bit paranoid of heavy snow or rabbits. (It’s only a few feet high right now.
You sure could. I don’t think it will help in regard to heavy snow. Better rabbit control would be achieved by using hardware cloth surrounding (not touching) the plant. Over the years, rabbits have stayed away from mine and heavy snow has never been a problem.
@ Thank you for responding. I bought some black fencing to put around my weeping white spruce baby and new arborvitae so I think I’ll do the same for my Sester’s.
So many beautiful design elements in your garden, very inspirational. I enjoy how you explain changes in your gargen and landscape over time and include clips from different seasons. Great videos!
Hi, where is this amazing place ? !Talk about an EVERgreen.🌲🌲🌳🌳

I love how you add pictures throughout the seasons for us to see it all! Just fantastic ❤
Where can I buy it?
My pine originated from Iseli Nursery (wholesale grower). I would reach out to them to see if they are supplying any garden centers or landscapers in your area. If they are, see if that retailer/landscaper is stocking the plant, or if they would order it for you: sales@iselinursery.com
