Survival Garden Crops To Grow In Canada. MUST WATCH. | Gardening in Canada
Gardening in Canada is an extreme sport and so when growing a survival garden crop in Canada it can be hard to decide exactly what to plants. But it in this video we take survival cropping to the next level by analyzing the MANY different aspects of the survival garden crops we have chosen. The survival garden crops picked are based off nutritional value, plate appeal, reseed ability, highest yields and of course storage. Because gardening in Canada is a short season we need to consider totally days to grow but also how it will store indoors over the winter.

supper interested in your tilling vid or segment in a vid as a lot of home gardeners say its not good for the micro biom of the soil. love how you way you way things out and list all the pros and cons.
likeed both grams 🙂
Zone 6b represent 🙂
Idk why but it looks like you’re in front of a green screen
Hi, I really enjoyed your video about extending old soil from containers. Found it very useful. I found your video above very interesting, but as a Diabetic, beets, carrots and potatoes are not my first choice as they have many carbs. So I was wondering what you would suggest. I did grow zucchini once and was amazed at the success. I looked at your planting guides on Etsy and thought they were lovely. But I am a little confused by the first line on the Calgary, etc. planting guide. It says that on a cold summer day plant plant cold frames, etc. Is that what you meant to say?

YA CANADA! yay ahahah I’m always so excited when I find useful Canadian content
Yooo Ashley! I’m so glad I found your channel. Going to try my first garden on a balcony in WINNIPEG. Pray for me and hopefully you can help Hahaha
you talk to much just get to the point
I think kale is number 2.
Where in Canada can I order inoculant for peas. I’ve looked all over and can’t find it!! Any tips welcome. Thanks!
I live in wyoming so i find your channel very helpful

1 minute tips, 4 minutes advertisement, the rest is irrelevant blah blah blah.
Thank you for the video! I’m a fellow Canadian Gardener, located in Ontario, zone 5b.
Peas got nothing on lentils protein wise 🙂 fibre too. Per volume lentils 2x protein and fibre. Also, dry lentils store for years.
Wheres the snow?
We still have lots!!
Swiss chard is a good one. Starts first, finish last. Easy on the plate, easy to grow just keep cutting and it comes back. Nutrients baby!
Yesss Canada! thank you for this looking forward to your channel! 😀
Don’t forget garlic hardneck varieties..
Waaay too much talking about everything other than survival gardening
I can’t wait until I retire, and/or expire. Lol. You are still doing this project this upcoming season? How exciting!
Thanks for the great video. Finally some information geared towards more northern climates. Do you have any videos on companion gardening?
Good video
I’m watching as I’m in Scotland and when looking at certain parts of our country (other than the extremes of your weather) we’re quite similar.
Hi Another Canadian! Do you ever feel like an alien minority on here?! I hope you discuss flowers, not just veggies and cover all the provinces. I hail from Alberta, quite a while ago. Spent most of my life in Ontario and so I am asking for help with a favorite flower, FOXGLOVE. I know, I know, every garden center warns me: hard to grow…impossible for me. Another Canadian, BRUCE COCKBURN, personal hero, and a wonderful folk musician wrote a lively little ditty, called Foxglove- I played that tune! Tried to encourage Mother Nature…used Mir.Gro, better soil, less water, more sun, more or less everything. Bought at several different nurseries- to no avail. Simply won’t live and thrive…any suggestions ( I want all colors next to my hydrangeas- they die too, next door neighbor hasn’t had luck either…You go onto Pinterest and roam around England- seem to grow like weeds there! ( my weeds- the "wild flower" type, are thriving by the way) Since we Canucks are known for our optimistic pluck! I am not giving up- too late for this year- 2021 but next spring…
Nice to meet you. I subscribed- are you pictured in Alberta or Saskatchewan? Namaste Z. ( off to Bruce C. great start to a day, dose of Cockburn!)
When should I start seeds indoors, (southern Ontaro)?
Hello from the USA, thank you for the info!!✌
Yes! I am in zone 5b and we are expecting snow in the next couple of days! Grr. such a challenge. Nice to see other Canadian gardeners on Youtube 🙂
Which ones can survive in Calgary outside the whole year with no cold protection or just a frost cloth?
Good info but it took over 3 mins to get to any of it.
Garlic
I just heard a hack I had not heard for peppers. Add an 800 mlg aspirin to trick the plant into creating a disease resistance all so it is a rooting hormone. What does Ashly think.
Here in Nova Scotia this summer grew tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, butternut and Georgia candy roaster, peas, beans, potatoes, carrots, leeks, onions, parsnips, flowers, and many herbs VERY WELL. we canned, dried, ate and grew right in to December and still have lettuce in cold frames!! All good and our first year too! Manure magic. Gods great creation!!
Lettus, kale, melons, cucumbers, horseradish, cabbages, beans, tomatoes all also grow very easily in Canada (Ontario for sure).
Great list of cropsI agree with all your choices. I would add Sweet Potato, Cabbage and Onions or shallots (shallots might be easyer to grow). Aything colder than 5A you may not get sweet potato. I chose onions becase they add flavor, reseedability would knock them off your list.
Southern Alberta zone 3. Good info. I’ve had our zucchini as late as march the following year.
Butternut squash great for storage also
there isn’t enough time in the growing season to survive off a garden… you’ll be living off pickles 6 months out of the year.
You forgot kales. Huge variety. Grow fast. In many parts of Canada (not the prairies unless under cover) they are biannual and throw tuns of seeds in late spring second year. Freeze well and are multipurpose in the kitchen. And its high nutrition. Just sayin’/
Awesome! Something tangible for sask gardening.
Soil is my most perplexing component of gardening. Happy to find you.
What greens grow well up there? And how do you extend the growing season?
What part of Canada I’m from Ontario , so excited for next year haha
I only got a small area at a farm tho
Good stuff thanks
Very exciting 🙂
Cant wait!
My veggie choice would be squash because i can grow them in a small area and get way more lbs then peas
Also no matter how many peas i grow lol they never made it to the frezer lol id need your Feild there lol
I grew 650lbs of food in my 1/4acre yard this year and most of that weight was squash
Its a very nutrient packed veggie too loaded with magnesium
And you can save and plant seeds easily but they can cross pollinate for a great distance too making it harder to save seeds
I grow sevral different squash for a variety
Love carrots, beets and peas
Potatoes i do grow them every year for hubby i don’t eat night shade plants anymore but i agree
Throw a potato on the ground and cover it it will grow
Throw peelings in the compost they will grow lol
Leave a tiny one in the ground in the fall you get early potatoes usually july
So ya i will grow potatoes and they store the best like squash cool dark place till your ready for them 😉
No processing required:)
Great video
