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.

hi i am new to this channel and my new home in central ontario, zone 5. been trying to find fellow gardeners in zone 5 to ask about different things, but it seems most utubers are in america? can anyone help?
Can you grow a almond seed to tree in zone 5 that will grow to a big tree.
Are lemon and oranges only house plants that fruit. Also lavender ,Aloe vera cherry tree from seeds. Need help as a new gardener.
Zone 3 (sometimes 2b) and my garden goes out around the long weekend in may….but with covered gardens it could be sooner. I've seen snow here every month but june/july/august so always keep old sheets around for covering. But I do love my raspberries, dwarf carmine jewel cherries and strawberries as perennial fruits.
Lots of in and out with seedlings in spring
Só brasileiro gostaria de ter um gardem no canada
Ontario zone 7 need some helpful ideas We have raised beds and some containers and some in ground berry bushes .This year I am getting climbing strawberry’s shipped in .I plan to put them in containers with baskets in the container . Lots of first time growing for a 65 and 72 year old this is going to be our 4th year.
I'm in Belgium ( zone 8b )
For tomatoes, eggplants and pepers we wait until the weather predictions say the temperature won't go below 10°c and then we start hardening.
Also something I started doing is: pepers and tomato plants can be kept in a large planter and when the temp starts dropping between 13-10°c you do a really good trim and put inside don't overwater and keep between 10 and 15°c, the plant hybernate. In februari you place them in a warmer spot ( living room temp) and they'll start growing again. Don't forget to feed them ! This way you'll get flowers and vegetables much Faster.
Beautiful plants
You can possibly grow peanuts and loofah something can grow in Ohio zone 6,Happy Gardening
Thanks Young smart Lady ( love your plants and bring that GREEN BIRD back
Great video love how you explain gardening we have a hard time every year to get things going in Feb being zone 3 it’s tuff thanks for sharing your Knowledge!👍✨
So happy to have found you. I was tired of only seeing gardening in California.
I live in a urban city in Laval, Qc,Ca, zone 5
I grow all year round harvest crop in 2 small greenhouse’s 76 varieties of lettuces, 15 varieties of spinach, 10 varieties of kale, radish, turnip,carotte,oignon, bok choi,cabbage
I put a cable in 4 inches in the ground because I dont have enough sun in winter when you heat the soil the soil heat the air of the greenhouse 10C (Eliot Coleman)
At 0C the spinach grow, the soil not air at 4C the lettuce grow it grow slowly but it grow
When the soil temperature at 10C I put tomatoes plant at 25C soil temperature I put melon
I follow the Charles Dowding agenda to now what and when to sow it help me so much very less job and it WORKS
thank you to partage your connaissance
What I like in spring time gardening is to have a lot of fast growing vegetable 30-60 days
I start it 2 weeks before to put it in greenhouse or outside
like different radishes, bok choi, différent lettuce, différent spinach, small round carots, green oignon, small cucumber, peas, all the asian vege grow very fast
Im in Vancouver so what zone that would be lol
Thank you so much for this! I am a complete beginner, who knows little more than "plants need water and dirt, the dirt needs nutrients and some air space, sunburns and freezing to death are bad for plants". I did have to stop and google some of the terms you were using like "deadheading" and "hardening off", but at least now I know I'm in Zone 4a and what that even means! Gonna keep poring over your videos so I have the best possible chance once we plan some stuff outside in June 🙂
Can you tell me which I’m in? I’m in London, Ontario. Thanks
Where👏 have👏 you👏 been my entire life. Thanks!!!
I'm in a high elevation zone 4a in the area of Bancroft Ontario Canada. For the last 2 years I have gotten frost killed in the first week of June.
Hi… I'm from northern NB zone 4
I live in a 2b zone but I am in a valley so I go 3. I do mostly greenhouse and grow bags gardening.
Recent subscriber but I'd say Intermediate gardener from Saskatchewan (zone 3)! I come from a family of avid gardeners and started my own plots as a teenager. Now, in my first house, I'm working on converting more of the yard to garden space, cuz it's never enough lol.
Im in calgary help me please!!!! I have had black thumbs my whole life. All advice welcome
I'm going to keep rewatching this video everytime I get overwhelmed lol
Thank you for the vast of information. We,re lucky we dont have zoning in our country. Happy Gardening to all!
Just saw your channel. fantastic! I am a Canadian living at 8000' in the Rockies in a small cabin with a south facing deck. I have never grown a garden by myself, this is my first year. I started all my seeds indoors in February, far too early but thankfully everything seems to be doing fine. Just put most plants into final pots yesterday. It has been a very cold spring here. Your channel is super helpful to a newbie, very little information out there for beginners growing under extreme conditions. Not for the faint of heart:) Thank you!
Ontario Zone 6b. I transplanted my lettuces on April 20 this year, and they're doing great. We got some light frosts in late April (a week after transplanting) and then no more frosts. May was pretty mild – the coldest it got was 5.5C, so they started growing quite well in May. I've harvested many outer leaves, and they're now starting to form heads. They're all romaine lettuces.
I also direct sowed the same romaine lettuces in late March. They were high density sowings, and not thinned. Probably 25-40 plants per square foot… It's a dense forest of leaves now. Not going to get any heads from those but still a lot of "loose leaf" lettuce. The plants are smaller than the transplanted ones that are spaced 8-10 inches apart, but the amount of biomass per sf is probably just as high because there's so many more plants.
I also had some curly leaf lettuce that went to seed last summer, and I tossed the seed heads in the compost, applied the compost in the fall, and they started popping up in various spot in April. Those wound up reaching a similar size as the transplanted romaine lettuces in the same amount of time, so I'm thinking there might not be that much of an advantage to starting seeds indoors in my area. Because there were only a few seeds that germinated, they weren't as closely spaced as the high density sowings, so the individual plants were able to get larger.

Can you grow a moss lawn and moss garden on ontario Canada. Does the winter and snow cause any problems
What types of exotic tropical evergreens can survive winter in ontario Canada and what can you do to help them survive
US zone 4b. 3500 ft altitude. Last frost date May 22. 110 day growing season. But this year that was followed by a long, wet, cold June.
I live in Calgary. Edmonton is colder, has a more consistent climate, nutritious soil, is in central Alberta instead of southern Alberta, less dry and has a longer growing season. I wish Calgary was like that
Gardening is my retirement passion
Rose. Zone 5b
Need suggestions on best roses for semi shade garden
Canadian here! Thanks for your video! I am super excite to start doing more edible gardening. I would love to hear recommendations for raised beds, tools etc. for outdoor and indoor gardening.
I have the ugliest lawn in the neighborhood bc I will not spray. But then again, I am terrible with gardening. What can I do to smother dandelion? Not trying to kill them but want to significantly reduce the mass.
Love that Canadian prepper had you on. I recently bought a place up in the mountains here in US and it’s a totally different growing season then where I live presently.
From New Brunswick
Thank you for the information!
It is now the NEXT gardening season….and I'm happy to have found your channel. I enjoy a zone 5 growing season in south central BC. I'm, once again, full of hopes and dreams for another gardening season……
Marmora Ontario zone 5 🇨🇦 love your channel! We bought a house in cottage country in the northern part of southern Ontario… much different than the big towns we grew up in… a lot more snow! 🥶 I’m attempting winter sowing some seeds and doing some indoors to get a jump on the season… but I think most will be done in march and April..
HELP! I JUST MOVED. I have no idea what my zone is. I'm in central Oregon and at 4,300 ft. It will freeze here at anytime of the year. It could be 90 degrees during the day and 30 degrees at night. Hard on my garden plant. I do cover. If you have experience with this type of gardening. Thank5
Fan from Ontario!!! 😍
Canadian Gardener
In Canada there are many zones. Some places like the prairies have nice warm nights and great soil, so gardens grow great, where I live in central BC the nights are very cool,so garden covers are very helpful. Yet in some more Northern parts they grow pretty good gardens because of long daylight, so gardens get lots of light. Then in Okanagan it gets really hot, and of course Vancouver coastal mild, longer summers. I’m not as familiar with eastern parts but I know there is big variety there as well. So many varieties, just have to learn what grows good in your area and what soil amendments are required.
