Welcome to my Channel. I garden in the Canadian prairies. I enjoy growing vegetables in raised beds for this. I also have a many flower beds and pots throughout my yard. I enjoy growing for the wildlife, including a front yard that I try to fill with mostly native plants and a specific area for pollinator plants in my backyard. This channel is about how I grow things in my climate. I am not an expert but have been gardening and growing since I was a child.
My growing zone is 3B and I try to push that to Zone 4. We have fluctuations from -35C (-37F) to 35C (95F) in an average growing season. Those are extremes with our average lows being -15C (5F) and average highs being 20C (68F). My province is known for having the most hours of sunshine of any other in the country. My Average last frost date is May 24 and my average first frost date is September 12. A growing season of about 110 days.

Planting 3 Hostas and Hosta Update
I have picked up two new hosta plants to add to my collection. I am also going to be moving a hosta in my yard to a better location. I will show you how hosts I planted as bare roots are doing three years later. I grow flowers and vegetables in Saskatchewan, Canada. My cold hardiness zone is zone 4. I have an average of 110 frost free growing days each year. The past few years have seen our temperatures go as low as -37C (-34.6F) to as high as 37C (98.6F). Come see what and how I grow in these conditions.

❤ i gotta do some dugging too lol😅
I'd 85 hostas that I'd tags for I D but after moving into almost no shade and needs to give my work efforts into remodeling 2 homes in 5 years I'm in the second house and only have several left one is among.my favorite the Guardian Angel and now I've have a red bud tree that should give great partly shade and I'll give compost for feeding. It's said they love water but not wet feet so drainage is important. Thanks
That must have been amazing to walk through a garden with 85 hostas! Good for you keeping them IDd as well. A new space is always fun to try new things in but it would be hard to leave behind that collection.
I love these. I completely cut them back every winter and they always pop right back bigger and prettier right through the mulch. So easy
They really are easy care. I don’t always get to cutting them back before the snow comes, but they still grow through.
Bigger the better 😅
I have the same tile backsplash behind my stove. You have good taste!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I don't know if Self Heal would grow in your climate, but it's a native plant in the UK and it certainly is pretty. I was watching Joe's Country Garden and he had it in his. I'm enjoying watching him develop his new large garden. Joe Swift is a presenter on Gardeners World in the UK, so we know that he knows what he's talking about.
Interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl and sweet Buster!👋 Your front garden is so nice...beautiful! 👍Really smart gardening to plant natives there...not having to tend it as much as your other gardens and planters. 😃 I'm glad you got some action in your jugs.🌱 It looks like we may get some rain...hurricanes don't usually come in the right spot in the gulf to put us on the side of getting rain. We are too far in for it to have a major impact on us...most folks on the Gulf Coast come this way when they have to flee a major hurricane. It will be nice to get rain at this time of year.👩🏾🌾 Till next time!💕
That is definitely the bonus of native plants. They are low maintenance and adapted for our climate. Good luck with the rain!
I sowed in the fall and winter right in my cold frame and enjoyed spring greens super early this year. Then it turned into a jungle and I cleared it out just yesterday. What should I sow there now? I was thinking of radish, carrots, and beets for a fall harvest. Maybe more parsnips for a spring harvest.
It’s nice to have a good winter sowing. I always like the idea of more carrots!
Hi, ty. I was wondering if you know the best method for storing, planting, heeling etc. panicle hydrangea I recently purchased and are coming this summer. I have no idea, if its too warm to plant bare root. Much need your help if you can. ty
It’s always best to plant, any shrub or tree that arrives bare root, as soon as you can after it arrives. They should come with an information sheet. Often it is suggested to soak the roots for an hour or two to rehydrate the roots, then plant immediately. If the weather is very hot, sunny, and windy you should keep the soil damp but not soggy for a week or two after planting and then slowly back off the watering until they are just getting a deep watering every week or two. The amount and frequency of watering will depend on your soil and weather. Slow deep watering is better less frequently than dumping a bunch of water on the surface everyday. A layer of mulch will help keep the roots cool and damp.
@@PrairiePlantgirl thanks a bunch. I was worried they might fry or drown in our weird weather here. Gotta love zone 3 wannabe 4 😂 I've never planted bare root in the summer but I'll make sure to read instructions if I can understand them 😂
@kittypurr71 good luck! They will do better planted than waiting around.
What time of year is the best to make cuttings?
I have found spring best as the plants are starting to push growth.
You could have left that Garlic a little longer, you need to count how many green leaves you have left at the top, that will be how many intact layers of wrappers, 4 is ideal. Also you would have got better results if they had got some more sunlight and left longer. What is your average night time temps in June in your area?
Your Garlic froze to death, there is no winter dormancy, Garlic only has one period of true dormancy and that is 70 days after harvest or foliar collapse, normally fall planted garlic will be inactive so long as the soil temperature remains below 5c and will start growing in the spring when it warms up. I plant hardneck garlic in the spring and have harvested Turban variety in 116 days from start to finish. Garlic only really needs between 120 and 150 days of good conditions, temperature and daylength to develop and mature. On the equator they can grow garlic all year round. Your Vernalisation period actually happens when the top growth is subjected to 30 nights below 10c.
Happy Canada Day to you and all your people. Beautiful pictures

You are so welcome!
Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day back, it’s been a wet weekend here.
We have had a combination of rain and much needed sunshine. Looking at another week of rain here.
Happy Canada Day, Prairie Plantgirl family! Wow!😃 Thanks for sharing!💕
Happy Canada Day to you as well!!🇨🇦
Hello from the middle of Kansas. Your garden is looking great!! I enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much
Looking good there! You mentioned roasting radishes. Never heard of doing that. Any suggestions on how you roast them? Always looking for new ways to use up vegetables instead of feeding the compost pile. Also, very interesting that you too have had challenges getting your broccoli to germinate well. However, this last showing along with my red and green cabbage did very well. I placed the containers right inside of my shed window out of the direct sun and they germinated in about 5 days. Go figure! 🤔. I hope your plantings mature in time before your fall frosts. I'm sure you'll have frost blankets ready in case they need more time. Thank you for sharing.
When I roast radishes I just drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stick them in the oven around 400 for 15 mins or so until they show a bit of colour. With bigger radish like these I would cut them into halves or quarters. Sometimes I give them this same treatment along with some celery and onions. Or if you want them a bit softer wrap them in foil and pop in the barbecue (I put them up on the shelf away from flames) while you are cooking other food and let them bake/ steam in their own juices.
@@PrairiePlantgirl thank you very much for the ideas. I'll be trying that for sure. Especially on the grill.
Your brassicas are looking great. So much larger than any of mine. We are cold here today. Crazy weather
They are enjoying the cool, wet weather. I think some sunshine and warmth would encourage the cauliflower and broccoli to head up more. We are still getting close to frost 1 or 2 nights a week which is about 6 weeks after our average last frost here. So far I haven’t had frost, but it is chilly.
Good day, beautiful Prairie Plantgirl and adorable Buster!👋 Your garden is so full of good eats! I hope your daughter gets to eat lots of delish cauliflower.😃 Your joy of gardening is contagious! 😃 100 here today. The heat index was 109.🥵 Watering is the name of the game for me. I have a lot of tomato and pepper plants I'm tending outdoors under shade cloth. Volunteer sunflower plants are in bloom all over the property. 🌻 I'm really enjoying them. They aren't stressed by the heat at all. Thanks for the fun and information!💕
It’s great to hear things are still growing nicely in your heat stricken part of the world. It is still quite cool here (a low of 39.5F) last night! I am happy to be able to share my garden with you and learn about yours in the comments.
@PrairiePlantgirl The heat we are getting get in Central Texas isn't part of the heatwave. This is normal for us...30+ days of 100 and above is our summer weather. And no rain.
I know that from all of the great sharing you do but it still seems heat stricken to me - it is just that way for months every year 🥵. You even talk about it in such a casual way!
@PrairiePlantgirl I've lived here all my life...as kids we played outdoors all summer. Mostly in the shade. I can't imagine being outdoors in shorts and a tee in your weather. 50s and I'm in a sweater...low 60s long sleeves and pants.😄
I direct sowed brassicas this year. Plus some transplants. Now I have a crowded bed that I have to spread over two or three😮. Nice to see you are still reseeding. I have sugar beet and baking beans to resow.
The fungus gnats are what killed/weakened your collards. I had an infestation of those little buggers this year too, for the first time ever after buying some contaminated potting soil. Even after I tried every remedy in the book, salvaged what I could and moved the rest outdoors, I was still regularly vacuuming up tons of dead flies for several weeks afterwards. So gross, a thing of nightmares, so always try to find the time to oven-cook your potting soil before sowing anything indoors., and make sure you don't have an infestation before you even dare start those starts. If that's too daunting, the boiling water method is pretty good too.
I’ve had fungus gnats many times indoors and there would need to be a pretty crazy infestation for them to kill or even weaken your seedling if your seedling have enough nutrients and good soil. Last year I had a huge infestation but it didn’t effect my transplants at all actually and by the time I transplanted it didn’t matter at all. They more more annoying then they are actually doing bad stuff.
@@TheOnlyKontrol The gnats attack the plants' root systems, with some crops being more vulnerable than others. My onions and lettuce weren't affected, but many other crops, including the collards, were. All had great soil, enough water and plenty of light.
@@TheOnlyKontrol I just researched it and it's actually their larvae that comprise the plants, not the adult flies. Here's what Google says: Adult fungus gnats don't damage plants or bite people; their presence is primarily considered a nuisance. Larvae, however, when present in large numbers, can damage roots and stunt plant growth, particularly in seedlings and young plants.
Perhaps this older video would interest you ruclips.net/video/sRVm-8ZW5bc/видео.htmlsi=jh5P81aW_54-12Qf
I've controlled them indoors with diatomaceous earth , I just cover the soil and let it dry out , a few days they won't be able to reproduce. They emerge from the surface of the soil.
It’s all looking fantastic! Especially, considering, your cold start
This is my first year seriously growing potatoes - I tried a couple years ago, but did not research much, just plonked some in pots/grow bags and didn't get a great harvest. So I just put in all the potatoes I had in one go, for some reason successions didn't occur to me. Do you keep the potatoes you get in spring in the basement and take some out every month to sprout, or buy more later? Thanks!
You can replant from the current year’s harvest (or past years). Part of my successions is due to availability of the varieties of seed potatoes, part is because I don’t have space to plant them all at once, part is so I am storing less potatoes harvested in July all the way until next year.
@@PrairiePlantgirl makes sense! I got a health issue that started in the winter that is making a big impact on how much I can garden, so this succession wave of potatoes will work very well as I can take my time with it. Thank you for the idea and explanation!
I’m glad this idea helps you to continue gardening at a new pace.
I made something similar. I used a cutting disk in a hand held grinder. I clamped a length of pipe in a vice, then cut along the centre line, then I cut another line a quarter of an inch away. so I had cut out a long strip. Then I could cut 1 inch pieces along the pipe. This leaves lots of smaller clips that are easy to are easy to fix into place or remove. I have made dozens of them.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your method.
I have most of my potatoes in pots as well. Last year I reclaimed a bed where lily-of-the-valley was growing. Those potatoes did ok but this year they are doing even better. The seed potatoes were supermarket spuds that had started to sprout in the bag. It sounds crazy but these are the healthiest plants I have! I bought a 5 pound bag of potatoes at the market last week and they taste pretty bad-too old! I’m not buying any more-I can’t wait until my new potatoes are ready!
Home grown potatoes are better and healthier than any I’ve ever purchased. I’m impressed you were able to reclaim space from lily-of-the-valley.
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl and handsome Buster!🙋🏾♀️ Great video. I never heard anyone speak on keeping the roots cool...it makes sense. Thanks! At the start of the year, I'm itching to plant something. We sow potatoes around February 14th. I start them early indoors in small pots...I saw a British gardener do it years ago. As you say, it works well.👩🏾🌾 The heat is on here...starting to hit 100 with the heat index being 11 degrees higher. I sowed my sprouted cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower seeds...they are up and growing on my grow shelf.🌱 This year seems to be going by quickly! 😃 Your garden looks like it is really taking off!👍 Wishing you nothing but warm days!💕
100 degrees! Stay cool!
11:30 LOVE that repurposed jug made in to a scoop. Very nice.
Thanks!
There is a potato growth stages online somewhere. Flowering can last a month but, two weeks after the flowers are gone potatoes might be worth steeling. They say thick skin storage potatoes two weeks after plants died.
Yep! Here is a text description of the stages. I can't paste images haha. (I didn't write anything below this). "Overall Time from Planting to Harvest • Early-season varieties: 60-80 days • Mid-season varieties: 80-100 days • Late-season varieties: 100-130 days Growing Stages of Potatoes 1. Sprouting Stage (0-2 weeks) • Duration: About 0-2 weeks after planting. • Description: Seed potatoes begin to sprout and develop roots. Eyes on the seed potatoes start growing into stems. 2. Vegetative Growth Stage (2-4 weeks) • Duration: About 2-4 weeks. • Description: Green shoots break the soil surface, leaves develop, and plants grow rapidly. Roots establish and spread out. 3. Tuber Initiation Stage (4-7 weeks) • Duration: About 4-7 weeks. • Description: Small tubers start to form at the tips of stolons (underground stems). Plants continue to grow foliage. 4. Tuber Bulking Stage (7-12 weeks) • Duration: About 7-12 weeks. • Description: Tubers grow larger as the plant continues photosynthesis, storing energy in the tubers. Consistent watering is critical during this stage. 5. Maturation Stage (12+ weeks) • Duration: About 12 weeks onward. • Description: Plant growth slows down, and vines begin to yellow and die back. Tubers mature and develop thicker skins, preparing for harvest. Harvest Time Indicators • Early Varieties: Around 60-80 days, typically when plants flower. • Mid Varieties: Around 80-100 days, often indicated by yellowing vines. • Late Varieties: Around 100-130 days, after vines die back completely. By understanding these stages, farmers can optimize their care and management practices for better yields and quality of potatoes."
@@MacroTh3ory thanks. Heard they recommended stealing one potatoe poking up or close to surface otherwise wait.
@@massriver I always rob my potato plants in fact I took 6 small spuds (500g) this morning for my lunch. IMO the best thing about growing your own is being able to eat them while the skins are still delicate. Here in the central Okanagan Valley, BC I am able to get the seeds in when dandelions are blooming which this year was April 9th. I sow into the ground because pots always dry up in the summer heat. Good video.
This is a great conversation. Thanks for sharing that info @MacroTh3ory
Great job! 😀

Thanks for watching!
I was able to propagate my first tree, I checked it new root growth
It's been cold in the UK too, I even had my heating on a few times. I put my beans (started inside) in the ground a week ago and the slugs have had a go at some of them already, so I've planted some more in pots inside and hope they will get big fast to resist the slugs. I have tomatoes in my indoor porch that are over 2 foot tall with 2 trusses on already and yet the ones outside are still not a foot high. That's the weather for you, can't do anything about it, just hope, some years you win, some you don't.
Yes, we can’t control the weather. We work with and around it to the best of our abilities and hope for the best.
My peas aren’t growing either! But I sowed beans weeks ago and they are well on their way. Can’t wait! Your beans will now germinate quickly! I had to sow parsnips three times! (old seed)
Glad the beans came up and are doing well! Maybe it’s just not a year for peas. I was disappointed with the parsnip germination but not surprised. It just gave me a spot for turtle beans as I seemed to miss them in my plan. I have a relative that said she will have more parsnips than she needs so I won’t go without 😀
@@PrairiePlantgirl every year is different!
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl!👋 Yay heat and yay beans!😋 I plan to grow those Black Turtle beans someday.🫘 There are so many delish beans to try! I'm potting my sprouted cold crop seeds today. They sprout super quickly doing the paper towel method.👩🏾🌾 Does Buster eat green beans? I hope you get a lot of beans!💕
Buster doesn’t eat beans. He loves peas! The black turtle beans are great, easy to grow, harvest and store! You do such a great job keeping up on your crop seedlings for successions.
@PrairiePlantgirl Buster's got good taste...peas!😋 Thank you for the compliment.😊 Fall is exciting for us because that's when we can grow cold crops!😋
Thanks for this! I had to resow all my beans because I put untreated seeds into cool soil and the seeds rotted. I waited until the soil was in the mid 70’s to resow and they just about shot out of the ground!
Yes beans do not like cool, wet soil. I’m glad the second try worked out.
Good morning. We planted our beans on the same day. I too have been putting it off because of the weather. Another gardener said there isn’t enough time left in our gardening season. But I am confident we do because beans are relatively faster growing plants. Hope you are having a great gardening season and happy gardening.
I find mature plants less affected by cold weather. Once the beans are at those final few weeks they might need to be covered at night but hopefully we will have warm enough days to get them to the end goal.
Totally get your weather. Been so cold here in northwestern Alberta we had -1 last week at night. Everything is slow. Still have my pumpkins and squash in solo cups in the greenhouse. My peas are just coming up as well. Going to plant my beans this week. We only have a 90 day growing window so dry beans are darn near impossible. Although in saying that I am trying the Pea bean this year from eastern europe because of the short maturity date. We can get frost and do get frost in first week of August. So all my tenders have to be covered.
Wow! I thought 110 frost free days here made for a quick season! You have to really be organized and have Mother Nature on board with a short season.
I have a lot of liatris they are absolutely beautiful .
Nice video
Thanks
Fingers crossed 🤞 repot?
Yep!
Howdy, Prairie Plantgirl and cute Buster!👋 I hate hearing y'all are still getting cold weather. I do hope summer weather hits soon! You have so much good going on! Wow! Your creeping thyme is flowering! Pretty!😃 Nice looking peppers! I'm so thankful our regular summer weather hasn't hit yet. Today I put broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage seeds in paper towels to sprout. It's time to start our fall crops. 💕
That creeping thyme is so pretty when it blooms! I hope we get some consistent heat soon. It’s great to hear things are going well in your garden.
Thanks for the update! You are zone 4 and I am zone 6. It’s very interesting to compare what is thriving vs. what is struggling.
Yes, I enjoy seeing the differences in zones
Wow ! Frost in June… 😢 I’m sure the carrots and spinach do love it though. Try planting cilantro it does great in cool weather as well. Your garden is beautiful btw
Great idea!! I planted cilantro just an hour ago!
@@PrairiePlantgirl that’s awesome! You can always use the coriander in a pepper- grinder.. great, seasoning
I've had similar issues with melons..I passed on them this year...zucchini and honeydew and watermelons plus theh take up alot of real estate...try a few cucumbers in blacks pots it's not to late to save the season
Our tomato plants are doing very poorly. We had frost on June 18. I’ve never seen that in 24 years living here in southern AB. Spinach bolted,carrots barely starting to grow and pea plants are 12inches high.🤦♂️ and I can’t water anything because a huge water pipe broke in Calgary.😂 I thinks it’s likely that the garden will be a bit of a bust this year. Your garden is looking very good! 👍
We have been flirting with frost this month but have been lucky so far. That water line break is a huge issue. Hopefully they can get the new pieces in there and get that water flowing without any more big issues. What a reminder to appreciate all that hidden infrastructure that keeps our cities functioning!
Here in Ontario, we're having unseasonably hot weather, with thunder storms in the afternoons. My cherry tomato plants are over 6 feet tall, the the stems are 1 inch thick and the the fruit will be turning red any day now. The zucchini leaves are huge and for the first time, have no powdery mildew. I pruned out 50% of them twice, to increase air circulation.. Yesterday, I pruned my English cucumber vines. I am starting to harvest kale. I harvested rhubarb three times already. I froze half of it to use later. Blueberries, red currant and raspberries are starting to ripen. Half of my dahlias have been eaten to the ground by slugs.
I have been hearing about the heat wave out your way. It sounds like your garden is enjoying the heat!
Your yard looks great. Congrats on 10k subs. Thanks PPG.
Thanks 👍
