👩🏻‍🦰 A B O U T M E:
Ashley 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 KZbin, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s KZbin 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 KZbin channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

Looking on the bright side for you - you get nice slow watering as it melts

[@susanbigham2428]

So glad you cut in at the beginning. I almost thought you moved somewhere warm. This 3rd winter in toontown is enough already!

@@susanbigham2428 LOL yea I am going to build a giant dome over my entire yard.

[@anne-9374]

Welcome to Canada everyone! A land where you can go from Summer to Winter within 24h and planning for your garden can be a crapshoot.😂

[@marcelacecil3036]

I have learned so much from you, Ashley. I am 70 years old and have a botany degree, seed analyst training and am a retired health inspector (BS in Environmental Health). My mantra has always been that I want to continue learning for my entire life. You would not believe how much has changed just in evolutionary science since I studied it in the 80's. I hardly recognize the biology and chemistry from those years. Time and information move on. There will always be haters that can't stand to have their static views challenged by new ideas. Rock on sister, you are amazing and blazing a trail for all of gardeners who dabble and look for science-based information to guide our quest for a successful bountiful garden. Respectfully, from US zone 9.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Jeez that is a kind comment! Things have changed from even my time starting in the science world... and that is only 11 years ago

[@brianseybert192]

I am an 82nd Airborne combat Medic, till the day I die. Might have 20 more years on the planet, or tomorrow. I must say, my garden helps, by giving me faith of a better tomorrow. Silly me , to think a garden could change things. It has for me. Stay Well!!!!

[@misstweetypie1]

I think a lot of people feel attacked if the science doesn’t support the thing they’ve been doing for x years. But that’s the beauty of sharing, because maybe there is something extra, or different, that they do, that the study didn’t, and maybe that’s the key to making that certain thing work!

[@GardeningInCanada]

To be honest I change my opinion over time. I think I’m a dumb dumb for some of my old beliefs. That’s called growth

[@ahealthkit2745]

Been following you avidly for a few weeks now, I am a young & novice gardener, but I really appreciate your candour in going against the grain. No other gardening channel I watch has such a tether to actual science and I value your perspective, massively!

[@GardeningInCanada]

jeez that is a pretty darn big compliment. thank you

[@ahealthkit2745]

@@GardeningInCanada It's well deserved, and your choice to be so engaging makes it all the more deserved!

[@LlandereJewelry]

I have the same type of greenhouse. I purchased it for 75.00 from my neighbour. They had it for several years. It is holding up nicely. The only thing in the summer it gets really hot inside. I put plastic corrugated board into the ceiling one side for my sun sensitive plants. I have a fan running all summer. I shut the door at night to keep the bears and raccoons out at night.

[@MK-ti2oo]

I literally just told you days ago how I love my little greenhouse like yours and woke up at 4am to the bears clawing through the double wall polycarbonate panels 😑. I knew I should've put the electric fencing around it. Lesson learned. Sigh.

[@GardeningInCanada]

What!? Are you serious. That is insane. What was inside it.

[@ahealthkit2745]

The bears must have been starving! What a shame.

[@MK-ti2oo]

@@ahealthkit2745 they're always very hungry when they come out of hibernation for the year. This is pretty early so I want expecting it yet as we still have freezing weather well into late June usually.

[@carolstuff]

Wow, what a wealth of info Ashley! Thanks for always sharing such helpful content for free!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Glad it was helpful!

[@marilynturcotte5304]

Haha, to your edited narrative below. Yes you got a lot of snow, but that's Ma Nature!! Loved your science rant, so true!!! We need to look at everything as it affects the environment around us and accept that what happens in one area may not happen in another.

[@Nocare89]

When you can explain complicated things at a 3rd grade level, the people (that matter) respect you more. So sticky-uppy in the context makes perfect sense even if its not a word. It takes longer for the normal people's eyes to glaze over that way :P On the science thing and especially with plants.. they are highly dependent on the weather and we haven't even perfected weather prediction. With centuries of trying lol. People use observations to create rules, and then those rules must evolve with further observations. I already have to restart oregano in garden. It definitely didn't germinate. Already letting my tomatoes chill outside on warm days. I have to move it to follow the sun through the day.. its a whole thing lol. Didn't get any snow but it hit right at freezing last night so hopefully none of my seedlings die.

[@GardeningInCanada]

hahaha that's true too. the uppy people are sick

[@michapiwosz995]

Hello from northern Poland! It is snowing today 😉

[@mr.hamilton5393]

Sharing is caring 😊

[@anne-9374]

Save me from people set in their ways and with no give. They are essentially extremists. In whatever context be it religion, politics, … or gardening, it is an issue and these individuals should be avoided. Please continue as you are, we appreciate you!

[@bojinovm]

you should put a cover on that greenhouse for better isolation

[@LeslieSpeights]

Stickie uppie is perfectly valid in my lexicon which includes stickie outtie 😃

[@sueanstey270]

Funny, I just purchased the same greenhouse. I did get the one that says heavy duty. I hope it lasts. I love your video's. Zone 3 grower.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Awesome! Thank you! I truly appreciate the love

[@brianseybert192]

Hey Ashley! A lot of people (Way too many), do not believe human activities since the beginning of the 1900's has contributed to global warming. You do not have to justify who you are to me. I do not agree with everything you put out, does not make you wrong. Quite frankly, I get more usable information from you than any other garden channel. I personally think some of these KZbin gardeners with over a million subscribers are full of $hit, will not name names. Keep on truckin, Stay Well!!!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Hahah thanks. I mean that’s the beauty of science it’s supposed to be a little bit of every side contributing. I don’t really watch the other KZbinr to be honest 😛 I don’t have time

[@sasspopowich1033]

Use a label maker. It takes a bit longer but reusable year over year!

[@GardeningInCanada]

Genius!

[@oceansoul3694]

I use walls-o-water, cozy coats too...I find the tomatoes & peppers grow really well but then it's a hard thing to lift them off the plants when it gets warm. They cook the plants, and since they're full of water I have to get help to lift them off or the squish the plants. I do have a 5 gallon bucket with end cut out, fill them around the bucket but it doesn't help when I'm lifting it off. Its snowing here too...sick of it.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Yea the water stuff does work really well for tomatoes. They do not seem to mind the crazy dips of spring when they are cuddled up inside those.

[@belieftransformation]

Fun & informative log; thanks! We got some of the liquid this week in Alberta, too! 🤗🇨🇦

[@timcoolican459]

Just wondering Ashley...do I till the snow into the garden, or leave it on top as a cover? Lol...just messing around. Thanks for the info.

[@GardeningInCanada]

Hahahahah 🤪 I am at that point to be perfectly honest

[@salami5050]

I laughed way too hard at this 😂😂 I excel at growing snow.

[@timcoolican459]

@@salami5050 We should exchange snow growing tips. The drifts in the front of our house peaked at four feet. Now I didn't do anything in particular, but I think being permanently disabled has something to do with it. What fertilizer do you use. Lol! We could definitely have a lot of fun with this 'growing snow' idea. Cheers.

[@samanthasmorong7519]

Do you have a video of gardening in soil gardens and non soil gardens? You mentioned it in your last video of what you started in ground so far.

[@GardeningInCanada]

I will make one. good idea!

[@colleenbellscanadiangarden9180]

As for science, knoledge in the garden every location is different, so adding different factors like soil how much rain you get how much sun you get every factor changes to what works and science needs to change as our atmosphere is constantly changing. True that methods and applications work it's finding what works in your location... just a rambling thought...lol

[@GardeningInCanada]

110% though. everyone needs to be their own scientist

[@waynesell3681]

Hoping the greenhouse meets your needs.

Don't be sorry about not having much outside! It's been cold!

[@sonicrootsfun]

I’m not sure what kind of greenhouse you’ve got but I just saw a discussion that the roof panels in a similar model may be prone to getting algae growing inside them. Then they turn opaque. Maybe there’s a way to prevent the water from getting inside the panels with insulating tape or something? But it’s beautiful and I would love to have one. It’s about to snow here in Finland, too.

[@teac117]

Polycarbonate anti dust tape. It's the debris that feeds the algae. The mini-vents lets the moisture vent out when warm.

[@sonicrootsfun]

[@andydroid9782]

Question: My cherry tomatoes leaves are curling inward to it's self. Also leaves were burnt at the tips. What am I doing wrong?

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

I'm in zone 6...not sure if it's 6a or 6b, because I haven't looked it up yet, but anyway, I decided I would try winter sowing this year and it was sorta kinda a disaster because of all the warm weather and then sudden freezes. Of course the seeds germinated during the warm days and even though they are supposedly frost hardy varieties, many couldn't deal with the cold snaps. I did bring the survivors indoors because of 70mph wind gusts. I thought I had things well anchored, but several blew away to who knows where haha. I started a whole bunch of new seeds indoors under lights, and now have lots of new babies. However I just discovered today that tiny green caterpillars are eating them! NOOOOOOOOO! Ah the joys of gardening. I am sure they came in from the jugs I had outdoors initially. Sigh. I've been gardening all my 50+ years of life, but that was super easy because it was in zone 8. I'm having to learn all the nuances of a new zone with harsh elements I never had to contend with before, including vast swarms of locusts. I just wanna grow some dang veggies and maybe some lavender! WHY does it have to be so difficult here? Anyhoo, love your channel. :)

[@gigiartstudiowithartistvir3919]

p.s. Waiting on the mosquito dunks to get here for the fungus gnats trying to kill everything! SMDH

[@GardeningInCanada]

Oh that’s the worst. This winter was not ideal with all the freeze thaw. That’s very true
