- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2022
- Gardening can save a family anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousands depending on how much your family eats. The benefit is that it is all grown organically so the true value is much higher. This is how many plants I grow to make my recipes for an entire year. A great place to start is writing out all of your classic recipes and determining what you can grow from those meals.

Ashley is a soil scientist 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 TH-cam, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s TH-cam 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 TH-cam channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

This is a great video hun thank you so much for helping us I have and still am learning so much from you because of you I finally started a garden this year
I need about 6-8 plants to get me through winter .. lol .. big ones ..
I subscribed as well keep the videos coming ❤️
I am soooooooooooooo glad I saw you on Nate's channel, cuz my dear, I just love your videos...
Your personality, "down to earth"ness & the fact you are Canadian is just Wonderful !!
I live in Ontario, but when I started watching gardening videos last summer, they were all American ... & don't get me wrong.. I do find many of them very interesting & knowledgeable...
It's just great to get Canadian gardening advice.. 😊❤
"Wierd like Nate" - when the going gets wierd the wierd turn pro- Hunter S Thompson
I bet she didn't think you'd be watching ....
LOL you are so very welcome 🙏
...and that's why we're all here ( because we're not all there!) Come for the gardening, stay for the humor and Hunter S Thompson mic drop quotes!
LOL I love how you guys rib each other. It's been delightful to see your working relationship grow.
Thanks Nate for putting me onto Ashley she’s great!
I watched you on Canadian Prepper, and have been following you ever since. Your shopping trip with Nate was hilarious. Love your down to earth mentality, sense of humour, and repurposing tips. I live in an apartment and am growing a few tomato plants on my balcony for the first time…..shhh don’t tell my super 🤣 With the scare of food insecurity I started vacuum sealing dry food, and canned strawberry jam last weekend for the first time in well over 20 years….found it was like riding a bike, it all came back to me. I find your channel very inspiring, and look forward to your canning recipes 😀
Hahahah I love that! Riding a bike is pretty accurate
You are on fire. Highly appreciate you and your videos. Thanks!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your support
Here from Canadian Prepper. Thank you for the great information!
Hey! Thank you for stopping by
Retired grandma, who is in the process of planting my first prepper’s garden! I have learned so much from you, putting it into practice. 🍅🥔🥒🌽🌶🍓🫐thank you for sharing.
Awe! Thank you I really appreciate
How was garden #1?
Finally, a SOIL SCIENTIST that tells the REAL deal. All of these "No-Till" Tree huggers are making me vomit!!! please believe that I TILL my soil every YEAR, but I always add Compost, Garden Lime, Grass Clippings, Dead Leaves, ect. and I put BACK what the Soil NEEDS naturally!! Thanks for clearing all of this up. People just FOLLOW what other people say without doing their RESEARCH first!!! Keep doing the thing Soil Girl!!!
YES!! 👊 there’s so many things to be preserved from the garden. You nailed this one BIG TIME. Like a boss!😎
SO many! Thank you Derek!
You can freeze tomates whole. Just bag or put in containers. They peel beautifully. Making fresh sauces very easy.
Ashley, you're an absolute gem. Saw you take the beautiful piss out of Canadian Prepper, recently, and I more or less fell in love with you (as, may I add, a happily married man!!) Blessings from a thoroughly-soaked Emerald Isle. Hugs too.
Haha awe! Glad you enjoyed. It’s the hair …. I crush everyone’s egos
OBSESSED with this "1 bottle every week for a year = x plants" math! Just subscribed to the homesteading channel even though I'm afraid my weak vegetarian heart is going to get stressed out, but I would LOVE more videos like this with "growing recipes" if you will :)
glad you enjoyed!
I love your approach. Coleslaw in a jar? This I have to see!
Revisiting this one today while I plan my seed starting for the next few weeks. I'll bet the savings would be a lot more now than they were a year ago, even.
It would have been nice if you had concluded with a roundup comparison of purchasing next to your advised method. I have been fighting to get my wife to prep for years now and she is packet reheats all the way. I have simple tastes but I now realise that I have to learn to preserve and cook (hint hint) the whole way. My wife's reaction to your video was "what about the power cost of doing all this?" I come from a semi-rural suburb in Australia and my wife was an urban dweller in Germany but now we are in a rural area in Germany (I won that one) Keep up the good work and ps I'll be learning to cook and preserve this winter!
I've been looking all over the Internet for this answer from someone who has the brains to answer it thank you
You can also replant your onions and garlic to save even more money. 👍
watching from Miami !!! HOT and Humid... all freaking year!!!!
That is not ginger friendly
Love that humour about Nate but also respect your knowledge. I was introduced to your channel via CP and have enjoyed you contribution. Adding planners, growing guides and nutritional guidance just seals the deal.
I recall via Townsend's that many pioneer's died from malnutrition as they focussed on the abundance of meat and failed to take into account the balanced diet.Great idea for a series too!
Haha awe! Thanks John. I’m naturally very goofy 😂 so that accounts for my humour on using videos
Girl! I’m right there with you on why I am now a “prepper”! Lol!
AHAHAHA
I've just recently found your content and I am so grateful for it. I'm in Minneapolis and am wanting to learn to patio garden. You're insight to deep cold growing and budget conscious suggestions are really encouraging. Thank you!
Hey! I’m so glad you found me. Let’s get growing let me know if you need anything specific
watching from the UK. I have been hooked on your channel ever since I discovered it a couple of months ago. Currently eating all my salads, herbs, strawberries from my container garden and am patiently waiting for zuchinni, runner beans, tomatoes and beetroot to be ready.
Haha awe! Thank you I appreciate that. Sooo much salad right now
Mom canned 250 quarts of vegetables and fruit, for a family of 4 north of Theodore Sask., to see them a winter, I don't know the count for poultry or other meats.
I love that! The meats one is a totally different ball of wax haha
If you have the room- chop and drop, but I'm in Central Florida. It's the thing that's turned beach sand into soil.
that is awesome
You are a wealth of information on saving money with food. Great!
Awe! Thank you so much
You lift gardening to another level.
awe thank you
Excellent video! New to all this , you gave me ideas on where to start
thank you!
Hi Ashley, love your channel, I'm from Alberta, yeah Canada 🇨🇦, I have been looking for a channel that talks about Canadian gardening and the such. Your info is so informative to us Canadians. Thank you so much.
Hey Kim! Welcome to the channel glad she stumbled upon it. Let me know if you need anything specific
@@GardeningInCanada Thanks for having me😁, my husband grew up on a farm,(cattle, chickens, but mostly grain). I have been gardening since I was a kid, but I am always looking for new idea's to do things better. I am so glad i found you, your content is totally awesome and applicable to us that live in the Praries. (Hehehe I found you through Nate). My garden is 60' x 65' and I have gardened it for 20 years.I have add manuer and compst to it over the years but I worry that I'm depleting it.I do have a lot of worms 😁 which makes me think it's ok. I also have a big problem that started about 5 years ago. CANADIAN THISTLE. It started in a patch on the edge of the garden and now it has spread through 1/3 of the garden i have carefully sprayed it with (UFA grade) round up and cut it down. But the darn stuff won't die. ANY SUGGESTIONS 🤪. Hope you have a great weekend. Can't wait to subscribe to your new channel.
Ooo thistle is tough. Try solarizing the soil next spring! Really bake it it
@@GardeningInCanada My husband thinks I should fallow soil it next year and then round up everything hard. But it would break my heart if I didn't have my garden. I will try your recommendation, but I'm not sure how to do it. I may need some coaching, could you help with that? Thanks
I have almost stopped buying produce when I started eating sprouts and micro greens.
Yea! I really like radish and mustard sprouts personally
Excellent video. I teach market gardening here on Vancouver Island. One of my students asked how much food she had to grow to feed her family for a year. I will pass this on to her. Thanks
Yea! That’s will help her forsure
Thanks (Chi-Miigwetch) for bringing grace and class to Nate channel. I live on the land and love my gardens. I'm learning so much for you Channel. I make sure I plant extra pumpkins and squash via the three sisters. They store well in my cold cellar. The excess is organic feed for my meat chickens. NO dig no waste garden, if I don't eat it, the chickens will and the rest goes in the compost. I'm going to check out your channel for composting and the use of manures. Talking About Nate, can you show us prepper's/homesteaders on Nates channel the use of the letter "S" in SHTF for fortifying compost... and all that science stuff. .
Awe thank you so much Ralph I appreciate that. I love the sounds of your setup
I found the 'pink stalk' celery turned into a great perennial for my garden. Plus the second year, I let it seed, now I find it a hardy volunteers plant. Buffalo NY USA. USDA zone 6a.
Dehydrate celery and powder it. Big Bang for your buck in sauces and soups
Ohhh that’s interesting I’ve never tried powdered!
Hello from Canada's east coat. I look forward to learning more about gardening and how to preserve the harvest.
Hello and welcome to the channel!
Ahh nice. Can watch on lunch break!
Love when that lines up haha
Hi! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad you are enjoying!
My favorite video you've made so far!💚
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this!! I have never seen garden recipes broken down to how many plants we would need. Super helpful!
Yea absolutely! Anytime
Just got done with the CP video...lots of useful information. Been gardening for years and still have issues. Everything has been experimental. For example... Had a blueberry bush that hasn't put a leaf on for 5 years. Bought 2 new bushes...all of a sudden the stupid thing is growing. Its like NK dude...I'm still here don't forget about me, when someone else gets the attention. Lol.
They love acidic soil
@@GardeningInCanada have it at 5.5 since the grapes and raspberries in the same area.
Oooo nice!
i just found your channel. I am excited to see if you can really help me figure out how much to grow and make gardening simpler and cheaper. Really love your way of being. I live in South Texas. No one here eats cabbage rolls. Ha Ha! We eat other roll shaped things like tamales, taquitos, etcetera
Welcome!
Last year I felt like the weird neighbor for growing melons all over our front lawn. Now that I'm seeing how much more groceries in Canada have hiked, this year alone, I would not be surprised to see crops popping on front lawns all over the neighborhood this summer!
Love canning! So far I've canned a bunch of jam, pie fillings, chicken broth and chili this year.
Tomatoes are starting to turn red so salsa, spaghetti sauce will be next along with peaches!!!
I find canned fruit in Canada so expensive.
Absolutely ❤
I'm another one who has subbed because of CP. You had about 31K then. Almost another 10K since. Glad to see the co-lab is paying off. For both. One of my favorite aspects of my gardening. Is using the over the rail planters for veggies. All around my patio rail I have 10 planters. Mostly bush beans. When they are getting near the end of bearing beans. I have planted more seeds in the soil beside them. When the first plants are done. I just cut them off. That way I don't destroy the soil and roots. I look forward to watching and learning more. Topped my peppers because of you. Thx.
Thank you for your support. awesome suggestion
Every week, my dog Loki (liver-shunt) eats:
-2 pounds green beans
-1 pound carrots
-1 pound summer squash
-1 pound winter squash
During our 2020 pandemic, I had to go to 4-5 stores to find these items for about a month. The last 2 years I have been growing a lot of these items (squash & green beans). I just freeze them in frozen bags. Buying them frozen is around 6-7 dollars a week for my one dog!
Ngl, I really dislike the word "prepper" now. I always relate it to angry ppl buying those crappy overpriced MRE's sold in a bucket.
Anyways, I'm glad this video was made for the novice subsistence growers and a review for the seasoned.
Just want to add in:
When it comes to seedlings: check your local nurseries for good priced seedling ready to transplant (AVOID big box stores; ive had better luck with plants bought at the dollar store lol). I recomend this for plants you dont want to start from seed (for me it's eggplant). I picked up some eggplants for $2 a pop (compared to $5 a pop at the HD.
I also recommend looking into seed trade events near you. Here we have them once a year and you pay a small entrance fee. I bring some of my unwanted/surplus seeds to trade with other growers and recieve other seeds for free. They also sell fruit tree scions. This is a great chance to network and get the down low about other resources and services you might need later on.
Always PLAN PLAN PLAN before you do anything but know more stuff will pop up, and that's just a natural part of the process. Be you and be creative, this is your garden. Goodluck
Haha I don’t only a single MRE so I guess I’ve been dethroned with the title.
The planning part is huge! Very true
Wonderful video. You’ve inspired me to get over to supercenter and buy tomato plants for salsa , and I have scored some more garden space at my MIL
Do it! Do it! Honestly it’s worth it
Really interesting information. Makes me wish I had more space in the backyard. I'm definitely going to take your and Nates advice and do some indoor gardening this winter as long as the lights are still on. Thanks again.
Its totally worth it! i am going to try and convince him to do a hydro example as well!
I have decided that if I am going to want to grow over the next year it is going to have to be indoors ( for several reasons. Hopefully will be ablr to do outside next year but would like some videos on indoors.
Yea! I will do some indoor videos for sure!
@@GardeningInCanada thank you!
❤️❤️
Ashley I can't find your new channel. 😪
I am looking forward to canning with you. I do alot of canning every year both water bath and pressure canning. New recipes and ideas for preserving in other ways will be very much appreciated. I have a dehydrator and a freeze dryer is in my wish list. May not happen but you can always wish. I am lucky that there is a farm about 2 hours from me where I can get produce in bulk. I usually buy 150lbs of tomatoes, 40 lbs of onions, 50lb of potatoes, 40lbs of bell peppers(growing my own this year) With price increases this year I think it will be around $200. Last year it was about $140. We grow our own garlic, beans, cucumbers, snap peas, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, zucchini, winter squash (this year we are trying Georgia Candy Roaster) cantelope, watermelon, and leeks. We have blackberries, blueberries and red currant bushes. I do grow hot peppers, as well as a few tomatoes and every other year we grow tomatillos to make salsa Verdi.
Dang nabit! What a pain here is the link th-cam.com/channels/jui7H4Eczaoj3Z92AC-LBQ.html
Love your channel! Video idea (unless you’ve done this)
“How to keep your green thumb green… in the winter”?
What would be needed to grow indoors in darker parts of the year, but also when it’s bloody cold out? (Say like I’m in Edmonton)
Lights you recommend? Worth it to buy a light?
Heating mats? Again, worth it?
Plants or foods worth growing indoors or ones that would be a waste of time.
Bad idea? I’m so new to all this!
ETA = SPELLING
Oh yes! Absolutely.
Microgreen, microgreens, microgreens.
Sooo easy for everyone
I’m also interested in this as I’m in Calgary so thanks for posting. I’d love a whole video on gardening in each province both summer and winter seasons !!
@@samanthasmorong7519 yess! Exactly! Yay!
Loved this!! Can’t wait to can!!!!
I know… lol I’m starting to get the itch
Yes!!! Awesome video :)
thanks!
*Canadian accent, "Pasta, pasta, pasta"! 😂😭💀 Oh, and I've got 12 garden rows I've been planting corn and cukes in, so far. About to plant pole beans and cowpeas. Got two raised beds. One has 7 potatoes planted, and the other was intended for peppers, but my two surviving pepper sprouts can't seem to handle the sun, no matter how much I harden them, so they haven't gone in there yet. In the meantime, there are some really healthy volunteers from our compost that have sprouted up, so I may just let those ride, and see what happens. Got garlic sprouting, bunching onions, and most of my other stuff keeps failing after I sprout it, or else I'd have more varieties 😆. But this is only my second actual garden, and I'm diggin' it.
Here for it 😍
❤️❤️❤️
Love this Ashley!!!!
Yay!
Really great info here. Thanks so much!
Absolutely anytime!
Thank you for sharing the coat breakdown of store-bought food vs. Growing and preserving it at home. Also, the quality of the ingredients home grown and preserved is priceless!
Thank you!
I have been looking for a video like this for a long time. Love it!!! I am already working on the garden thing….but this is next! Regarding cheaper options…in my town we have something called “Free Plant Stands.” I have been able to start gardening with the donations of grow bags and seeds from the generosity of the gardening community. Many libraries in the US at least, also have free seed banks. I have desert soil where I live so I have invested a bit of money in getting soil going here, but am planning to worm “farm” within my beds. Blessings to all starting your gardens.
I wish I had seen this video when I was sowing my seeds! I have 9 tomato plants (1/2 early girl and the rest assorted), and 9 pepper plants (5 sweet bell pepper, and rest versions of other hotter peppers). My plan was “I’m going to learn food preservation”. I may be in trouble… or have Neighbours who benefit from my abundance! Haha
You still have lots of plans and you almost definitely be able to preserve with nine!
This is great. Thank you CP for the intro. Great wealth of knowledge
Hey! Welcome to the jungle let me know if you need anything specific
😎 brilliant lady
Thank you!!!!
Awesome content thanks Ashley!!!
Glad you enjoyed Nick!
Loved the video with Nate too!
Haha! That’s good! I’m glad
Please share the coleslaw recipe !!
Most definitely will seems to be the most popular thing I mentioned
Down To Earth's yt channel just made an awesome short video on the potential GHG emissions reductions locally sourced food consumption will result in :)
Ohhhh I like that. Plus water exports… it’s a thing
HA!! She called u out Nate!! Lol!!😜 Jks.... love ya BOTH!! And hey I just found this channel, but have been following @CanadianPrepper for nearly 2 years I think?🤔 so to each is own so as long as we are all being safe & constantly preparing, learning new & old stuff!! 👌
I'm loving it both, but I do lean more towards the low tech. 😉
Hello from Ontario 👋🏽! I finally found the push to get my garden going and this video solidifies my goals for growing my own food. I am enjoying and learning so much from your videos!
You got this!
I am soooo glad I found you! I enjoy and learn from every single video! I am not a prepper either, but I would like to know I can produce and save my own food if I need to...and after a few years of a TH-cam education and experimenting in my "yarden" (as I like to call it) and containers I think I would be able to, maybe! :) THanks for the education!
Hey! CID thank you so much for the MAJOR compliments I appreciate that.
Hi Ashley! Great video, but you didn't mention how much you spent for hydro or gas to cook all of your cans. I think it will deduct some amount from your total. But the best benefit from all home-growing veggies is quality. You can't compare cucs, toms, cabbage for sure, greeny leaves. If you tried once home-growing veggies, you will never go back to store one. TY
Coleslaw recipe? I’m so intrigued!
Hi ya...... I've been looking to find if our newspaper flyers, with the different colors on them, is compostable. I've watched a ton of videos but the only ones that said yes we're in the US. I don't even know how to word my search anymore I've tried so many.
I hope ur doing well and looking forward to ur food videos. I've only seen one so I hope I haven't missed any.
Thank u Ashley......u r a big help to many of us. ❤️
They are likely soy based so it should be fine. but someone has to know!
@@GardeningInCanada
Thank you.... What I did find out was that u can put it right on the garden for weeds and such but I wanted to shred it for my compost. I now make everything smaller for the compost.
I'm just a newbie this yr and I'm loving learning about it all and I'm so grateful that u r will to put up with all my questions...
I don't what I would do without u now. 😁👍❤️
I would love to find your canning recipes I all so live in Saskatchewan
I like your channel. I'd like more on the soil amendments series. I suggest tuff or lava rock (are they the same thing? does the color matter?). But really I'd like any new video in the series.
Great suggestion!
l🥰 "I go overboard...CLEARLY". lol. LOVE you Ashley!! Thank you so much for this video and I cannot wait for your new channel. I went bigger this year and rented a community garden plot. I had no idea how much to grow, and did an estimate of my own. 40 tomatoes, 60 potatoes, 500 peas, 2 different pepper plants, 2 cucumber plants, idk how many green beans (hopefully enough for a year with both bush beans and pole beans), pie pumpkins, zucchini and sweet corn from my father in laws field. All food to can or dehydrate. I have a 37 feet row of beets, and another of carrots. Onions every where in-between celery and tomatoes. ummm and I am pretty good on how many herbs (basil, celery, marjoram , thyme, ect). I can't wait to see if I have enough, and your estimates here are helping me so much!!! I also stepped up on succession planting and interplanting. I am having so much fun!!
That sounds absolutely amazing! Great job
I typically like to just can the tomatoes as is and turn the jar of tomatoes into what ever I need for dinner so I don’t end up having say more salsa when I’m in need of pasta sauce. 🤷🏻♀️
At one point I knew that 12 Roma plants would provide enough canned tomatoes for the year, however after watching your tomato trellis video I am hoping for a higher yield!
Yes that’s a great suggestion
Second channel is this one! I’ll be doing this recipe and other odd ball money saving stuff here. th-cam.com/channels/jui7H4Eczaoj3Z92AC-LBQ.html
Please make a video on sea weed and animal manure.
will do!
Great Stuff !
✝️🇺🇸🍁🚜
Thanks 👍
This video cries out for a linked spreadsheet that summarizes the vol Yuimes and plantings cited.
I have already subscribed to your other channel. You dehydrate potatoes for Idaho style potatoes? Do tell us more. I have tried to dehydrate grated potatoes without using oil for breakfast hash browns , like the kind the store sells in a small cardboard container, but when it cooks it turns to a mashed potato like consistency. Have you tried it? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!
Hi Ashley have you started your homesteading channel yet?
Yup! th-cam.com/video/V623W1zEuUk/w-d-xo.html
I've read cronicles of explorers that came through the plains over a hundred years ago or so, they spoke of vast tracks of land torn up " ...as far as one can see" by the passing of millions of buffalo, it was said to extend to a depth of over a foot, and totally blackened the surface. If the prairrie survived ( if not "was created by") 10,000 years of these herds roaming about where does the idea of no till come from? Working nutriants into the soil seems natual in this situation.
Looking forward to all these awesome resources! I will definitely be trying your recipes. What is the new channel called? Will this info be on the blog?
Yes! I will put them on the blog as well. The second channel is just called in Canadian Homestead. i have it pinned above
Is it just me? I can’t find your other channel. I don’t see a pin above and it doesn’t come up in a search
It’s everyone haha no idea what the heck is going on th-cam.com/channels/jui7H4Eczaoj3Z92AC-LBQ.html
Cool !
So how much square feet of garden does one need lol
💚💚
❤️❤️❤️
In ground garden: How do I keep the weeds out without spending a bunch of money on mulch or weedliners? Are there other medians or methods that could be utilized for free or really cheap?
Cardboard, Newspaper & Grass clippings!
What’s your second channel called?
HELP PLEASE: I am working on prepping my terrible clay soil with double dig. Chipdrop deliverd a TON of mulch and wondered if I can lay it in my garden, like, right above the clay pan. Would this be a good/bad idea?
Great video is what people need to know.I'm Italian so I did plant so many tomatoes too much maybe 55 for 2 people, and plenty of eggplants and sweet peppers I will roast them and save them in the freezer sweet pepper in zone 9 almost 10 they died in January plus is will cover them up. They give me so many cherries and I'm not crazy about them I put rum, with cloves lemon peels, and cinnamon, so I did with apricots,I did jams and ice cream too. Did my mint syrups cost 50 cents for the sugar when I buy cost me 3 euro. Prices of veggie will rise so fast is what the evil goverment ..I have potato, sweet potato, corn, herbs, fennel, plenty of pumpkins, zucchini, etc., plus winter stuff like broccoli...i will donate the insects that EU and WEF suggest to them. People waste money on vacation right now instead to get ready. Pity I did not move to Mexico cause I love avocado.
HAHA sound like me!
in your garden planner book does it cover successional growing to maximize production
It’s doesn’t only because Canada isn’t a great place for successions BUT! That’s a very good ide
I live in a shared house with a paved back garden - do people improvise their own beds or just use pots?
I would use garden sox if you are looking to grow a lot of produce. i have a video come out on these soon!
After gardening 10 years, I became allergic to the tomatoes plant. This year i'll purchase tomatoes from a farmer to make sauce!
Did you mention having another channel? I'm probably dumb but I can't seem to find it
I do canning too, what’s your second channel name!
It’s this one! th-cam.com/channels/jui7H4Eczaoj3Z92AC-LBQ.html
Hi! Is there a list that I could print out of how many plants per person? I feel like I will need to expand my garden again next year haha
I will put something together!
One thing that I do a TON of is using regular old pasta sauce jars for canning. There are ups and downs to using them, and the lids only last for one or two cannings, but the cost (free) is pretty appealing. There are a lot of naysayers to the practice in the US, but (as I'm told) it's quite common in some countries such as Australia - and I've never had any issues with canning that way. Big thing to be careful of is to not shock the jars with super hot contents when the jars are cold. The jars can be cracked that way.
I know i have heard of people who do this
My question is, how much square footage are you using to grow all this?
not much actually, if you use high intensity cropping
Ashley…Does that count for raised beds??
Yup!
Are the recipes somewhere???
Ashley, I’m very interested in what you had to say in this video. Do you pay for water in Canada? We do here in Western Australia and where I am in can get very hot. I’ve had a few doomsaying-negative-Nellies saying the cost of watering a vege garden negates the savings from canning your own produce. I’d like your opinion on that. Also, I went to your website to see the recipe for the canned coleslaw. I can’t find the recipes anywhere. Could you direct me? I don’t mind paying for it if it’s a buy in your shop thing. 🥰 I was fortunate enough to have to help my mum ever since I can remember through canning season. I hated it at the time but I’m very grateful now. I have a large family and we love coleslaw so I’d really like to know the how’s as well as the how much-es!!! 🥰 Thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz🇦🇺 & 🐶Omega the Cavalier🐶 My dog - she likes to garden, cook and watch TH-cam with me!!!
Depends on where you are here in Canada. I don't pay for water because I'm on a well in the country and also collect rain water. At the city house I moved out of last year we did pay for water, but it wasn't terribly expensive. That said, where I live can be very arid and we go through a lot of droughts and heat waves. I implemented a lot of things like mulching and using drip hose to save water, and plan on doing the same here even now that my water is free.
i definitely pay here!
Where is your salsa and coleslaw recipe? Please lol
How do you make flour out of squash?
Dehydrate and grind
@@GardeningInCanada Thanks. You would need an (electric) dehydrator? What other methods could you dehydrate the squash?
Where is the new channel?
