Weather zones for planting canada Videos

They almost did.I'll be probably posting a video this weekend on the results. I just wanted to give them some time just in case growth came out from the bottom.

Oh yeah, you have to be careful about cooking those crops... I remember last year I lost some plants because I was sick and slept in an hour and a half one morning. So I had the heat mat on under my plants, with the cover over them, and they were in the greenhouse on an unusually warm morning. It was 35°C in the greenhouse, I have no idea how hot it was for the plants, but I could smell them cooking when I took off the cover. Somehow a few of them still lived, but I lost a good amount. Needless to say, I'll drag my corpse out there from now on if I have to lol

Great information. It is pretty cold here (imo) so I'll be paying close attention to how you garden.

If it snows on the sprouts of cold hardy plants, will it kill the sprouts?

I hope it works because it would benefit other people in the area. I wanted to tell you that constantly youtube or google keeps taking out my subs. This is the third time but I resubbed you again. Love your channel. It's so educational.

Hi Stephen, Interesting points, I need to finally read Coleman book. I'm planning to grow all those hardy one in August in UK they should be able to survive outside with fleece used occasionally when temperature drop below -3.

That will be interesting to follow Stephen, thanks for sharing my friend :-)

great information we in Trinidad has no snow or cold whether sunny always guy

Thanks for the video. Do you recommend weather equipment to monitor the local garden vs. using the local news forecasts?

You *are* thorough, Stephen. I guess you have to be if you want to have a successful garden in a limited space. I'm still rather unsuccessful, even on a big space so you are not missing anything. The effort just gets diluted the more space you have. Hahaha. Because i also have to keep the edges with shrubs from leaning in and devouring the garden again. Cornus is beautiful, they are just very time consuming and fast growing. Snip and chip, they are a constant source of easy to chip woodchips, so that is a plus. Willing to give it my best again this year. If all goes well, i will be building some cold frames as well. 1 or 2 small ones should be possible! My neighbor mentioned she had extra wood laying around she wanted to get rid of so that will come in handy. *silent cheer*. :) I'm having much more fun this year. The no dig beds make gardening so much easier. Now i have a bit of room to breathe and help my neighbor out with some things. She is getting old and is fast losing her grip on the garden. Sense of community is important in these times. We should be able to do it together.

Have you ever considered buying straw for weed control? I had a friend from suggest it and it worked GREAT for weed control while adding organic material to the soil. The bright yellow color reflects the soil and can keep some stuff growing into the the hot summer too.

I'm in zone 6a. We have a heavy clay soil. For the last 3 years we have been putting in free horse manure from down the street. It has a lot of shavings in it and has helped the soil immensely. Do you have any horses in the neighborhood?

Hey Brandon, how do you protect your garden from the strong winds? I live in Prosper and planted my tomato plants last week. This week the strong winds are killing my little baby starts. :(

This is my first spring garden in 8a (east Dallas). What success have you had with zucchini and squash? I had a difficult time in zone 9a on the coast due to the humidity. I'm also a pickler - what cucumber types do you have planned? I'm trying Parisian gherkins this year (a new one for me).

So happy to find your channel! I live in the Dallas area and I am planning to start my first garden. Any produce you recommend for first timers? I love all vegetables and fruits.

I enjoy keeping up with your gardening and chicken growing efforts, especially since I had to give up my own garden in the north.

I adopted a community garden row last year that was a weedy mess. I followed your lead and put down landscape cloth to help me slow down the weeds. I did pull out the grass in the middle of the row where I planted turnips. The garden did great! So, thank you! but now I've taken on two more rows of weedy Bermuda grass infested rows and I will use the garden fabric again. I have done it a little differently though. I don't use the metal staples, I covered the cloth with hardwood mulch. I think the weeds (especially the Bermuda) will grow through the little staple holes. I'm also hoping the mulch will make the fabric last longer.

Brandon, I'm in zone 8a too, over here in Grapevine! What types of veggies have you found can be planted now, in very early March? Looks like the weather should be mild all the way through the middle of March, and then we will be getting closer to Spring! I was thinking I might get some plants it the ground this weekend, but I'm not sure what will work this early.

This is great for free energy, you need coal and gas and nuclear for the grid to be stable, cant rely on csp for the amount the power a coal plant puts out. what needs to happen is stop eating cows and use all the land they use to grow cow food , millions of acres, and use for csp, but that will never happen because we love our meat that gives us cancer, the truth -bam
