THANK YOU 🙏 A MILLION TIMES FOR 100K. I have more subscribers then I do dollars in my bank account and seeds in my garden but I feel like THE richest women in the world. Here is the coveralls link geni.us/Fs8Z
I’m really curious about how luffa gourd would do as a replacement peat/coco coir as they are both a bit controversial. I’m a peat fan as Canada is much closer than tropical climates and coco isn’t regulated like Canadian peat. But I think shredded luffa could be at least a partial replacement. Is it too late to start them in zone 6.
Some of the well made coveralls are well worth every penny they often last for almost a lifetime, but keeping comfortable and warm while you getting the chores done is money well invested. Thanks. Your advice is spot on.
I moved last year to zone 8 on Vancouver Island from zone 4 in AB and I am ecstatic about how early I can sow my veggies in raised beds. I started cooler crops (radishes, lettuces, carrots, cabbage, etc.) end of March/early April. Things are popping up already! I'm getting a lot value from your videos. Looking forward to more from you!
@@GardeningInCanada Been watching your videos for awhile now. Just love your content as I can relate to much of it from past experience. I've been gardening since 2009/2010 but am no expert that's for darn sure. I'm killing less and less plants each year though so that's a plus lol
Congratulations on a well-deserved 100k! You crack me up. Getting more perennials and annuals started today. Legit, running out of starting space it seems. Excellent idea for fall planting of the peas and beans. Want those overalls too!
I actually might start putting some of my stuff on racks outside. The stuff I know can handle a little bit cooler nighttime temps. I can easily cover that if it does decide to go between the minus Ranges
I’m in USDA zone 5a, in Maine. So, not in Canada, but we have more provinces bordering us than states, so… My peas and radishes are coming up and also a lot of my perennial herbs and greens. I’ve got calendula sprouts everywhere. Last night I started some more basil (I’ve had indoor basil for a couple of months), pac Choi, marigolds, seed fennel. Still need to start some other stuff, and I’m transplanting out things slowly… spring is weird. It feels like it takes forever to arrive here and then one day I’m like “Oh snap, I’ve got way too much to do!”
I cannot get enough of your videos! I am in New Brunswick (Zone 5b) and have just started gardening a few years ago as a learning opportunity for my two children (7 & 4). I am also a Forester so I love all the soil science. I just found you last month when I was looking up videos about tomatoes, and I now have some of your playlists saved and listen to them whenever I get the chance. I am learning a lot and finding ways to improve my skill set for next year. Thank you very much!!!
Transplanted my Zinnias (.25¢ seeds from Dollar Tree) last year with success. Grew them indoors, moved them to the open back porch for a few weeks, then planted them in the garden. Doing the same this year, but, might get some plants pop up from seeds they made last year.
I love the look of Borage with their beautiful blue star shaped flowers! and for sure for the many bees they attract! A Medicinal herb as well with many benefits...My Mum always said to float the flowers in your glass of wine and dream of Love, lol...
I absolutely love how they look & they make great compost tea & compost greens, too. I planted a couple in a big raised bed to attract polinators, but the ones I grew last year went to seed, so I've got a few little surprise plants growing around the edge of my raised bed too! More the merrier. :D
Had to watch this episode a few times re marigolds. At the 10 min mark you said ‘marigolds’ but I think you meant to say ‘morning glories’ should be “put in a container and be responsible with them”.
We're still hitting -1C overnight in the Rockies/Zone 5b. I've started zinnia, marigold, and cosmos last week. My winter-sown natives are beginning to emerge.
Zone 6b, Southern Ontario here!😇 Our LFD is usually in the first week of May. Today + yesterday I basically have my balcony 80% done with potting and adding plants to my containers. My back’s sore but it’s so worth it😅. Congrats on 100K!🎉 You completely deserve this, and I’m grateful for all the knowledge you share with us! Thank you😊
I am in zone 5B near Montreal and my last frost date is April 21st. This fact really makes me feel bad for myself but then i watch you being able to have great production in a lower zone and i feel that i can do this. So thank you
We have been planting marigolds in the front yard garden to give the squashes, sunflowers (more about them in a sec) and potatoes a little colour and so the neighbours don't complain too much about us growing veggies on the front lawn. Almost every year we lose the tops off several of the marigolds when the deer move away from the river, deeper into the suburbs. The fawns start eating them and then spit them out. Unlike the sunflowers which the deer almost totally destroy. We only had two survive last year and those two were slow growing and were partly hidden by the squash we had growing around them.
I've planted Amaranth simply because its A.K.A. Love Lies Bleeding By The Garden Gate. ❤ Shh don't tell I'm a bit of a romantic. For diagnosing soil temps - drop knickers sit on soil. If you can last a few minutes without shivering then good to plant. 😅 Zone 3/4
Also addicted to zinnias since last summer! They attract hummingbirds almost as much as the they attract bees. Also, morning glories are beautiful and super easy. I planted with my pole beans, corn and sunflowers as they are climbers.
Ash, Zin's are non addictive. I collected some seed last fall from some I had planted. I'm zone 3 in B.C. Got a full tray of cells, going to the co-op for more planters. Good time to start yer autoflowers too. Feed your soil.
I never have a problem transplanting sunflowers. Only grow one to two seeds per pot indoors then transplant once they are 6 to 8 inches tall in a sunny location in amended soil and water well. Do this on an overcast cloudy day when the temperatures are warm enough.
Here's my dose of gardening humour by Ashley. I love the ADHT and Redhead references, and you're probably an exhausted Mom!! I'm in Zone 7a, Kingston, ON. Right now, the weather has been great: warm days and nice nights with rain and more rain. I hope it clears up for a few days so I can get more stuff done in the garden.
Hi! I’m technically zone 6. But… I live on a tiny island off of Cape Breton. Here the saying is “plant your frost tender things after the first full moon in June”. Also, I’m originally from Ontario (Lake Huron area) I’m having to relearn gardening with salt spray and constant “stiff breezes) which would have constituted a wind warning at our old Ontario address lol. But still optimistic for this growing season as we put in a lot of fruit and nut trees. Grateful to have a Canadian gardening source that is factual ❤
Clear, straight and logical! Never had wise girls like that in the UK! We had one of those amaranth appear in a packet of mixed flower seeds, my dad seemed to think it was cannabis, dug it up and hid it!!!
Zone 6b, but by a lake so my season is later and longer than the surrounding area. Already have brassicas, onions, garlic, beets and potatoes in the ground. Hoop house is filled with tomatoes and peppers waiting their turn.
I love marigolds too. I think they are the most understated flower. they grow like gangbusters here for me in 5b. Such a workhorse! Im totally with you in planting it in May. Mother Nature is super fickled 😂 Ive seen some snow and freezing temps thru may as well.
So I haven’t finished watching the video because I had to go find those overalls. I’ve been on an endless search myself to find ones that don’t button down by the waist, so thank you!!! Bernes. 10% discount pops up if you give up your email. Back to one of your awesome videos…
My last frost date is May 10th! It's been getting steadily warmer each day, and with it being a little cloudy the last couple of days, I decided to give some of my plants some hardening off time. Pepper's doing great and is putting on some healthier foliage, and the seedlings I've grown are past the cotyledon stage and are doing pretty good! Just got a couple of storage onions & marigolds that I started. I planted a ton of radishes, peas, chives & bunching onions near the mid-late April, and they're all doing pretty good. Got some nasturtium & marigold growing in the bed too but I lost one of each to frost a couple of weeks ago, the remainders are doing much better. Got a few borage growing too, a ton near the edge of a bed that just grew in the native soil since last year! I'm planning to remove the radishes once they're ready to be harvested, got any good recommendations for veggies that could replace them in June?
I so want to be able to bring everything in my greenhouse from the house!! But I still need to finish it! 😅....so yeah I will be starting some plants after I repot what I have 😋
8:09 Sunflowers 🌻🌻🌻🌻 I was contemplating transplanting mine today. I will start more seeds and then go for it with the starts 😅 Here's to hoping. 5a here
Zone 5a Michigan I've started so much, and most of it goes into the hoop house (the entire hoophouse gets watered if the forecast indicates the temps will drop to 40°F / 4.4°C, and I use row cover or a space heater if temps will be 35°F / 1.6°C) Planted Outdoors in Fall: * Garlic * Daffodils * Tulips * Cilantro * Chard (no germ thus far) * Brussels Sprouts (no germ thus far) * Poppies (no germ thusfar) * Many other flowers that show no germination thusfar Planted last month: * Lavender * Leeks * Red & Yellow Onions * Daikon * Loose Leaf Lettuce * Alyssum * Chard (transplanted. No signs of growth) * Potatoes Transplanted last week (single plants that I didn't feel like bumping up, so I put in the raised bed, and cover with straw every evening, as well as much of the day because they were not hardened off. (we shall see how they handle it 😂) * Terenzo Cherry tomato * Golden Cayenne Planted in the hoop house last month (Here, I use a combination of decomposing wood chips and natural moss as mulch): * Potatoes * Daikon * Loose Leaf Lettuce (in a tray) * Chard (also not growing) * Beets * Black Eyed Peas * Collard Greens * Lavender * Ridicchio * Attempted Zinnias and other Wildflowers sprinkled on top of a compacted area that's topped with lots of moss and mulch (we shall see what happens) Many more that I haul in and out as the temps fluctuate beyond their range, but too much to name.
Thanks!!!!! I'm in zone 4b in Colorado because of my altitude. My issue though is it goes from an average daily temperature of 65 degrees the last week of May to over 80 at the last week of June . Makes it difficult to get cool weather plants to produce before they bolt. I grew up in Montana, -5 in May is perfectly reasonable to me 😉🙂
you're marigolds look way better than mine this year. and if it werent for adhd half my plants wouldn't get tended to lol ... zone 8 in texas. i gave up starting new stuff in the greenhouse last month. just up potting a lot of things still in little starting trays ... new for me this year is cassava :)
I love your channel! I’m in zone 7a, I think. I’m a bit behind this year but better than last year when all my starters died when I broke my legs. I’m seriously counting on this year to be a good harvest.
Zone 6b here. I've started marigolds, cosmos, sweet peas, canna, zinnias, broccoli, corn, tomatoes (March) loofah, watermelon, cantaloupe basil and spring mix lettuce. 🥵 hardening off most of them this week for planting in raised beds. I direct sowed wildflower, borage, and sunflower seeds. I transplanted my 3 borage seedlings into my flower garden bed, thet did well.
I had about five trillion morning glories in my yard when I lived in Boston. The first year, a few plants had come with the yard, and I carefully transplanted them all up against the fences. Then they reseeded, and the next year there was an explosion of vines! It was insanity, a sea of purple flowers, climbing every plant and bush. So pretty, but also my worst weed! Please do a video on growing melons! I’ve never managed to get any larger than softball sized, even now that I live in zone 7a. I’m starting some indoors this week. Also cucumbers.
Thank you for the advice about the morning glory. I started one inside to put out at the corner of my deck, to climb up a trellis there....but now I am wondering if I need to put it in my driveway container jungle instead so the seeds all fall on the cement...hmmmm gardening choices!! Thanks for the great video. I'm looking forward to seeing what was behind us that we couldn't see:)
Yukon here - officially zone 1, but 2 is generally fine and 3 is sometimes ok! First plant out day is 7 June. Really great to find your Canadian channel - thank you!
@@GardeningInCanada In Greek they are called Vlita. In the Caribbean they are Callalloo. You can find the recipe for Vlita on Vlita-Amaranth Greens Recipe-Real Greek Recipes. It's easy. They are available in Chinese supermarkets and some West Indians call them Chinese spinach although they are not Chinese and not spinach. They are grown for food all over the world. Just North Americans think they are either Pigweed or noxious weeds. I've got an allotment garden in Toronto and everyone from everywhere eats Amaranth. Except Anglos. Go figure. Get with the program Ashley! Become a citizen of the world. 😀 .
Ash enjoy your content! Thanks so much for being my calibration viewing. I am zone 4b in Montana. Watching all those other tubers in zones 6, 7, and 9 with their "surprise cold weather" makes me appreciate our Canada friends. Made a HUGE investment in 3 and 5 gallon pots and soil this year. Pretty much beat you to the punch with seed starts on flowers this year...a bit to early though. My crown jewel of planting is a vevor 20x10 green hot house has 80 two foot tall tomato plants in pots and over 175 sweet to super hot peppers in pots learning to grow that are about 12 inches tall. Started them way to early in Jan/Feb and enjoying paying a $65 a week propane bill!😂
Oh man that’s huge! We have very similar weather if not identical. I drove through/stayed in Montana last fall and it was shocked 😆. Zero change in temperature
Great Saturday morning video. I'm itching to get into our new house next month and get going on the garden. Starting my seeds in our RV while we wait for the house...
Zone 4b TY for the Nasturium greenlight I was wondering, also starting wild perennial Onions of all type cause it's an addiction and some flowers if you like Marygolds and Zinnias, you could start Prairie Conflowers and Clover, both super derpy cute and native to west-can (+ easy to grow)! Ps: Long time fan here thanks for all the tips and relatable nerd gardening content
I'm outside Billings MT and the new grow zone chart puts us at 5A now, and depending on the resource, our last frost day is anywhere from May 11 to the 29th.. This is my first year trying to start seeds indoors and I kept it simple to just a few things because having just moved to this property a few months ago I need to work on getting my infrastructure set up, but am hoping to at least do some container gardening while that happens. I feel like I'm behind on the tomatoes and peppers, but too early with the squash seeds so I guess I'll see how it all turns out once I get everything outside in the next month. 😄
Zone 6 USA, my watermelon , cantaloupe Melon, tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos are small plants now. Kale is bolting already. And lemon basil to flowering as well
Great info 🙂, interesting thing about zones is that its not really aplicable to annuals. Although I am in a zone 5, any perennial I get need to be hardy to zone 4 to survive the winter cold snaps. But I usually get around 160 frost free days 😊
I live south of Minneapolis and just transplanted my kale, cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Do to the warn weather I'm hoping for the best. I am actually running out of room for plants in my house.
Im on the fence with morning glories.. Sort of a PTSD trigger for me ..I just went thru my seeds this morning again ..(im so far behind) and morning glories made the cut to plant (still could change my mind) a few years ago now, I had an amazing 6x8” wall of them,, lush and full and glorious foliage, with oodles and oodles of buds, just waiting to open. I came out for my morning garden walk and it was gone.. munched to stubs.. the dear left a few low laying leaves..but not a single bud. I never saw them bloom.. i felt gutted.. hence the PTSD 😂
Oof! That's so sad to hear. I live in an area with a major deer problem but I'm pretty lucky, 6ft tall fences all around & the deer don't seem to like entering people's yards. I live in a sort of complex that actually seems to dissuade most of the pests. (Some exceptions being local finches, who I adore despite them lovingly consuming my seedlings.)
I grew the pompus plume amaranth last year it had varigated colours and was the most beautifull plant in my garden. It did not self seed and it was a complete show stoper. I did however have to protect it from hungry bunnies
I’m so excited. I have a brand new garden bed all along the east side of my house. I’ve ordered way too many many perennials from Veseys and I can’t wait to try and do an English country garden . Never had such a lovely expanse of fluffy dirt to fill ‼️‼️😳
I am growing Eskimo marigolds in Edmonton Alberta they grow about 2 3 feet tall and the marigolds are around 3 or 4 inches across. Biggest I have ever grown.
Zone 5b, Annapolis Valley, NS. Last frost date May 20. I have direct sowed peas, carrots, chard, lettuce, spinach, mesclun and mustard. The greens are up. I hope to transplant some onions this week. The garlic is up as is the rhubarb. We could use some rain - I have begun watering to aid germination.
Hi Ashley, I love your channel. I'm in Montana. I have a question. I could not find your friend that did the video on starting beet seeds. Can you please let me know. Thanks ! Love your cover alls !
I'm gardening in Z5 and find your info helping me a bunch, thankyou. Plants still inside but getting them outside to deck for the CMEs this afternoon, BYE!
I luv my morning glories ... BECAUSE i dont have to replant every year...lol SpreadOut my pretties, SprrrrreaaadOUT ( Been planting for few years now...)
hot take I hate most of the marigold colours xD doesnt go with anything i plant but i do try and pick up as many of the whitest / pales ones i can for interplanting xD

Some of the well made coveralls are well worth every penny they often last for almost a lifetime, but keeping comfortable and warm while you getting the chores done is money well invested.

* Alyssum
* Chard (transplanted. No signs of growth)
* Potatoes
Transplanted last week (single plants that I didn't feel like bumping up, so I put in the raised bed, and cover with straw every evening, as well as much of the day because they were not hardened off. (we shall see how they handle it 😂)

Zone 4b or 5 now. Sowed peas, kale, spinach, beats, chard, onions, potatoes, lettuce.
That is a good spread!
Nice, sounds like a bountiful harvest is in your future. Love the salad greens, I really need to start growing some next year.
@@GardeningInCanada thank you!
I start sunflowers indoors every year. I actually uplant 2x before they go outside and they do super well. I'm in the Laurentians.
Wonderful! When do you start them?
@@GardeningInCanada mid April.
I love your channel! I’m in zone 7a, I think. I’m a bit behind this year but better than last year when all my starters died when I broke my legs. I’m seriously counting on this year to be a good harvest.
You still have lots of time. It will turn out
Zone 6b here. I've started marigolds, cosmos, sweet peas, canna, zinnias, broccoli, corn, tomatoes (March) loofah, watermelon, cantaloupe basil and spring mix lettuce. 🥵 hardening off most of them this week for planting in raised beds. I direct sowed wildflower, borage, and sunflower seeds. I transplanted my 3 borage seedlings into my flower garden bed, thet did well.
Thanks for sharing
Hey! Congrats on 100k subs.
Yay, thank you! 🙏
Thank you! I am sooooo happy I found your channel! I am in Zone 3 Saskatchewan. I adore your style of delivering relevant gardening information!
I had about five trillion morning glories in my yard when I lived in Boston. The first year, a few plants had come with the yard, and I carefully transplanted them all up against the fences. Then they reseeded, and the next year there was an explosion of vines! It was insanity, a sea of purple flowers, climbing every plant and bush. So pretty, but also my worst weed!
Please do a video on growing melons! I’ve never managed to get any larger than softball sized, even now that I live in zone 7a. I’m starting some indoors this week. Also cucumbers.
Zone 4B. I didn’t know you could successfully plant snow peas and beans seeds in the fall for colder zones. Thank you!
Yea! Works like a charm
Thank you. I have about the same frost free date in a zone 5. I love your ideas and cant wait to try them out.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this, I’m planting a lot of these and started some already 2 weeks ago, haven’t yet started others. Hello from Zone 2
Hello!👋 another cold one 🤓
I understand your zinnia addiction. Love them.
Absolutely stunning plants
Thank you for the advice about the morning glory. I started one inside to put out at the corner of my deck, to climb up a trellis there....but now I am wondering if I need to put it in my driveway container jungle instead so the seeds all fall on the cement...hmmmm gardening choices!! Thanks for the great video. I'm looking forward to seeing what was behind us that we couldn't see:)
Yukon here - officially zone 1, but 2 is generally fine and 3 is sometimes ok! First plant out day is 7 June. Really great to find your Canadian channel - thank you!
Amaranth leaves are great cooked as well.
What actually? Like how?
@@GardeningInCanada In Greek they are called Vlita. In the Caribbean they are Callalloo. You can find the recipe for Vlita on
Vlita-Amaranth Greens Recipe-Real Greek Recipes. It's easy. They are available in Chinese supermarkets and some West Indians call them Chinese spinach although they are not Chinese and not spinach. They are grown for food all over the world. Just
North Americans think they are either Pigweed or noxious weeds. I've got an allotment garden in Toronto and everyone from
everywhere eats Amaranth. Except Anglos. Go figure. Get with the program Ashley! Become a citizen of the world. 😀

Ash enjoy your content! Thanks so much for being my calibration viewing. I am zone 4b in Montana. Watching all those other tubers in zones 6, 7, and 9 with their "surprise cold weather" makes me appreciate our Canada friends. Made a HUGE investment in 3 and 5 gallon pots and soil this year. Pretty much beat you to the punch with seed starts on flowers this year...a bit to early though. My crown jewel of planting is a vevor 20x10 green hot house has 80 two foot tall tomato plants in pots and over 175 sweet to super hot peppers in pots learning to grow that are about 12 inches tall. Started them way to early in Jan/Feb and enjoying paying a $65 a week propane bill!😂
Oh man that’s huge! We have very similar weather if not identical. I drove through/stayed in Montana last fall and it was shocked 😆. Zero change in temperature
Great Saturday morning video. I'm itching to get into our new house next month and get going on the garden. Starting my seeds in our RV while we wait for the house...
Good luck! 🤞
And I thought I had space issues! I am in an apartment! Good for you! For sowing seeds and purchasing a house. 🎉
Zone 4b TY for the Nasturium greenlight I was wondering, also starting wild perennial Onions of all type cause it's an addiction and some flowers if you like Marygolds and Zinnias, you could start Prairie Conflowers and Clover, both super derpy cute and native to west-can (+ easy to grow)! Ps: Long time fan here thanks for all the tips and relatable nerd gardening content
Good choice!
Congrats!!! I live in Alberta and am zone 2b.
❤️❤️ thank you 🙏 but you guys are why it’s possible
I'm outside Billings MT and the new grow zone chart puts us at 5A now, and depending on the resource, our last frost day is anywhere from May 11 to the 29th.. This is my first year trying to start seeds indoors and I kept it simple to just a few things because having just moved to this property a few months ago I need to work on getting my infrastructure set up, but am hoping to at least do some container gardening while that happens. I feel like I'm behind on the tomatoes and peppers, but too early with the squash seeds so I guess I'll see how it all turns out once I get everything outside in the next month. 😄
Zone 6 USA, my watermelon , cantaloupe Melon, tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos are small plants now. Kale is bolting already. And lemon basil to flowering as well
Last year I grew beets and some stayed firm in my refrigerator over winter. I planted 3 of them hoping for them to produce seed.
Great info 🙂, interesting thing about zones is that its not really aplicable to annuals. Although I am in a zone 5, any perennial I get need to be hardy to zone 4 to survive the winter cold snaps. But I usually get around 160 frost free days 😊
Very true! Mine just stay indoors a bit longer 😅
I am addicted to growing zinnias as well.
Oh yay! Here's the May video! 🧡 🧡
Hope you like it!
😂 It's a given that if you post it I'll love it. I've already started my second watch of it. Great job as always!
My last frost date was in February, but I watched anyway. Maybe it was your milkshake that kept me watching lol
I live south of Minneapolis and just transplanted my kale, cabbage, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Do to the warn weather I'm hoping for the best. I am actually running out of room for plants in my house.
Great video as always! Informative and entertaining 😂
Glad you enjoyed! Happy gardening today
I used a clear takeout quart container, half full of soil, and poured in an entire packet of Nasturtiums. Easy! So easy!
Im on the fence with morning glories.. Sort of a PTSD trigger for me ..I just went thru my seeds this morning again ..(im so far behind) and morning glories made the cut to plant (still could change my mind) a few years ago now, I had an amazing 6x8” wall of them,, lush and full and glorious foliage, with oodles and oodles of buds, just waiting to open. I came out for my morning garden walk and it was gone.. munched to stubs.. the dear left a few low laying leaves..but not a single bud. I never saw them bloom.. i felt gutted.. hence the PTSD 😂
Awee that’s sad. What colours do you all plant?
Oof! That's so sad to hear. I live in an area with a major deer problem but I'm pretty lucky, 6ft tall fences all around & the deer don't seem to like entering people's yards. I live in a sort of complex that actually seems to dissuade most of the pests. (Some exceptions being local finches, who I adore despite them lovingly consuming my seedlings.)
I grew the pompus plume amaranth last year it had varigated colours and was the most beautifull plant in my garden. It did not self seed and it was a complete show stoper. I did however have to protect it from hungry bunnies
I’m so excited. I have a brand new garden bed all along the east side of my house. I’ve ordered way too many many perennials from Veseys and I can’t wait to try and do an English country garden . Never had such a lovely expanse of fluffy dirt to fill ‼️‼️😳
Oh I am jealous! That is going to be beautiful
@@GardeningInCanada we shall see. I’m expert at killing things🤣😂🤣😂
An hour of footage without your mic. That hurts. And yet you still seem enthusiastic, despite 2nd time around.
I am in zone 2b/3 in Alberta.
Hahah always
you have changed your youtube "style"....or whatever you call it. Love it!!
I am growing Eskimo marigolds in Edmonton Alberta they grow about 2 3 feet tall and the marigolds are around 3 or 4 inches across. Biggest I have ever grown.
Oooo I have never heard of these
I will send you a pic of the package after I'm done work. Thet are just gorgeous
Here you go Ashley
Here you go Ashley Eskimo Marigolds
So technologically challenged. Bahaha. McKenzie seed company supplies them
Sharing is caring x2😊
Absolutely! ❤️
Millennial here 👋 yup we know what it is 🎵
hahahah
Zone 5b, Annapolis Valley, NS. Last frost date May 20. I have direct sowed peas, carrots, chard, lettuce, spinach, mesclun and mustard. The greens are up. I hope to transplant some onions this week. The garlic is up as is the rhubarb. We could use some rain - I have begun watering to aid germination.
Hi Ashley, I love your channel. I'm in Montana. I have a question. I could not find your friend that did the video on starting beet seeds. Can you please let me know. Thanks ! Love your cover alls !

I definitely want to see the greenhouse tour even though im not a GIC Crew member.... maybe i should be 😊
You are subscribed so you are 😂
Me too. I would love a greenhouse tour. Goals. 😊
@@GardeningInCanada ohh I thought the crew was paid membership
I'm gardening in Z5 and find your info helping me a bunch, thankyou. Plants still inside but getting them outside to deck for the CMEs this afternoon, BYE!
Thanks for a good video again. Would soil blocker work for tsinnias?
I don’t see why not. The smaller one maybe better but I would experiment and see
@@GardeningInCanada I will! I have the tiny one and the 10 cm one, maube I finally find some use for the tiny one...
So sorry I missed your video ❤ from Barrie ont
I am going live this Tuesday!
We’ll done on your 100k subscribers great video 🇳🇿❤️

Hi, i just found your channel. Im in Nothern Michigan, it's a rather cold zone 4.
With temperatures- are you talking celcius or ferinheit?
Ops sorry Celsius I need to start putting the Fahrenheit on the screen because half of the GIC Crew is American
I think borage is pretty.
❤️❤️
I think borage is beautiful...like it's a weird benign invader from Mars.
Hahahah awe
Thank you, Ashley! Do you think i can transplant my asparagus seedlings now? Im in Alberta. Our last frost date is in June too.
I luv my morning glories ... BECAUSE i dont have to replant every year...lol
SpreadOut my pretties, SprrrrreaaadOUT ( Been planting for few years now...)
Marigolds rule! I’ve been growing them aggressively for three years now.
I like the word choice aggressively lol
I think borage is pretty! But it does make me feel like I have fiberglass in my skin if I touch it.
I have to dig out soo many morning glory roots every year and pull them off my plants through out the whole season 😭😭😭
So the wandering dude likes to hang out :)
Hahahah awee that’s the plants new catch phrase 🥹
Angus is MacGyver's first name. Pretty cute if you ask me! 😂
hot take I hate most of the marigold colours xD doesnt go with anything i plant but i do try and pick up as many of the whitest / pales ones i can for interplanting xD
hi Ashley. Do you know anything about soil redox potential? maybe it's just some hocus pocus I've found in you tube. thanks.
Julia? I'm not all that capable sometimes with finding the links but I couldn't find this one. 😢
Which one am I missing?
Julia with the beets?
McKenzie seeds has them .
Zone 6/7 now. My tomatoes are almost 3 feet tall, my planting date needs to get here soon so I can get them out of my house 😂
my husband wants me to buy a pair of cover all's. just sealed the deal ill do it
😂 they are so nice because it’s way less laundry.
Why are marigolds a pain in the but?
What's the name of the GIC facebook group?
