This is a garden tour for an Canadian gardener and cold climate gardeners across the world. I will have to do a new garden tour soon because the heat wave has really changed things up. Let me know if you enjoy garden tours and I will be sure to make more videos. Gardening In Canada Garden Tour. Mid Summer Canada Zone 3 Backyard Garden Tour. USDA Zone 4

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE if you are wanting to know more on gardening in Canada & gardening in Colder Climates in general. My methods apply to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 1 – Zone 6. As a soil scientist I always try to incorporate science into my videos. Soil science can be over complicated so allow me to guide you.
Leave a comment and let me know where your are gardening. And let me know what videos you would like to see in the future!
Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up and coming gardeners.

What time is that for eastern time zone? What's your time difference there?
💚
Ugh so fiiinneeee
Very nice and arranged garden.
All of my early start okra died when transplanted in the hard clay mixed soil but direct sow in a planter are doing wonderful and are almost at the stage of setting flowers (baby bubba verity). The only time I have seen okra growing in Calgary region was during 2017 as it was a very hot and constant summer with warmer night time temperature.
Artichoke can grow here perfectly though I never ever tasted them in my life, I have seen very nice and healthy heads at Laughed House garden managed by a local garden centre.
Mint: be careful with their growth as they spread rapidly and have tendency to take over the entire raised bed.
I have also planted bitter melon (Chinese) and Armenian cucumbers along with opo squash.
It's interesting that your tomatoes being treated organically are smaller but have bigger fruit.
Astilbe?
The plant by the pond, you called Heli… .looks like ligularia?
Why not chop down the tree for more sun and less weeds?
Graft tomatoes onto maxifort rootstock and keep planting in the same spot til the end of time 😉
I have to do another tour soon if you guys enjoy this! The garden after the heat wave and still no rain is a different story 🤣
My tomatoes are doing good so far. I just had my first cherry tomato – from a plant that is 7ft tall now… not sure where to direct it's growth next since it's reached the top of the double stacked tomato cage. Maybe grow it horizontally along the top of the fence? The Jet Star and Cherokee tomatoes are doing pretty well too, I think the fruits should start turning colour any time now because they're very big. I tried putting some tomatoes into pots but they're not doing well. I don't have drip irrigation so I just water any day it doesn't rain but they still have blossom end rot and wilting leaves. I think I'll be growing them exclusively in-ground next year.
Your swiss chard and brassicas look pretty good. I direct seeded my swiss chard in mid-April and they were just staying tiny (like 2-3cm tall) until well into June… before finally starting to grow now. They're still slightly smaller than yours though. I have some rutabagas growing right now that I've been picking cabbage worms off of, but otherwise, I'm only just starting my brassicas to grow in the fall.
I started my okra in the greenhouse on May 18, transplanted on June 12 and I just got my first flowers today. I think I'll start them a bit earlier next year (like late April/early May) since we don't really get any cool weather past mid-May (this year was really unusual dipping to 4C on May 28th). I'm growing Clemson Spineless but might try Burgundy or Jambalaya next year. Hopefully you should start getting pods in late August if yours grow at the same pace as mine?
Upside of your climate is that I wouldn't even think of starting spinach now. Mine was looking nice in late May but then started bolting in early June and died of a week ago. I don't think I'll be growing spinach again until September. I'm trying some perpetual spinach chard, Malabar Spinach and New Zealand Spinach instead although I was late to start all of those.
yes doing another tour would be nice. that dog seemed to start performing when he knew the camera was on him.
Neat nice looking garden. You can grow various greens this time of year? We cannot here in south central IN.
Very nice ,thanks again 🙂
I like, and also subscribe to the reckless and semi-wild look with plants seemingly strewn about. Gotta make use of the sun wherever it hits the yard up here in the north, you know? lol
Hi Ashlee I can’t go outside longer then20 mins, our air is sooooooo thick with Forrest fire smoke 💨
Your garden is looking so healthy and beautiful ❤️
Our tomatoes are already 4 and half feet tall !
I have only 1 ginormous sunflower as well !
It’s 6” 2 this morning
Is the Black Gold Philodendron girl outside also?
✌️
Thanks for your videos, and absolutely gorgeous garden! I'm so glad I discovered your channel. I really appreciate hearing your garden content from a more scientific perspective rather than the usual annecdotal justifications one finds on youtube.. I was wondering whether your had a video talking about the differences between peat moss grades (i.e. black, brown, blonde, and H10-H1)? I've found a bit of info on the web about what characterizes the different grades, but I've yet to find a clear explanation about the use cases for the different grades & why I should use one for application X vs. using another for application Y. If you don't have a video on this topic, do you know of some literature that I can read through to get a better sense?
My tip for harvesting tomatoes is to paint your nails the exact color of a perfect tomato, so you can compare each one to the color on your fingers, and never again pick an underdone tomato~
it depends on rhe temperature not the soil
Nice garden, great sharing, thank you.. 😍😍👍
Nice work 😊👍,frnd, connected always with my channel
Just found you – really nice to find a gardener in my zone
I had a ton of cabbage worms too! I had to get rid of my plants too! I wonder if it has to do with the smoke or the high heat we had. My sunflowers didn't even sprout this year. My tomatoes are huge, about 6 feet plus tall with tons of flowers and also lots of fruit. My zucchini… oh my gosh… tons of fruit! Had to give most of it away, way to many for two people. At one point we were eating zucchini everyday with leftovers that I stuck in the freezer! For your basil, you said that was downy, what is downy? I have it too. Do you leave the fish in the pond during winter or do you have to bring them in? I was told if the pond is deep enough you can leave them in and they just hibernate.
How are your okra doing? My 2nd succession (sowed in pots June 12, transplanted July 5-6) is starting to produce now and my 1st succession (sowed May 18, transplanted June 12-13) is now producing 4-5 pods per plant per week. (zone 6)
Do you have a website? We live in Edmonton and watch to start growing some herbs and vegetables in our backyard. Don't know much about gardening, was wondering if you have a website that explains the basics such as when to start in sowing, should it be started indoors or can it be planted directly outside.
Do you crop rotate your bucket of potatoes?
Hate to be a pedant but the prairie lily is the provincial flower of SK, not the tiger lily. They're actually pretty differently-looking flowers.
Unfortunately zone 3 in Canada is not zone 4 in the US they are similar with zone 4 in the US being much warmer than zone 3 in Canada. It's best to take them 1 for 1.
