@hersheyqueenlisa I hope it helps! Majority of my celery is preserved for soups/stews etc for the winter- so this makes it softer for doing that. Good luck :)

@brendaarato123 neither are the onions, Chamomile, green tomatoes, Asparagus etc that I have in my yard. I'm aware; I have 3 dogs. I was watching to make sure she didn't actually eat it. Thanks for your concern. :)

@@notherwannabe thanks for watching! I have been using diatomaceous earth; it's helping a little. But still no cucumbers yet! Hopefully soon!

@@gingirelblabla it is recommended about 12-18 months, but I still have some I'm eating from 3 years ago.

@lynram8820 that would make sense with the eggshells pointy edges. Great tip!

@@michaelkidder6175 not a problem! :)

@vickymarcon5612 where abouts in ON? Nice to meet you, neighbour! Our pests (and weather) have been all over the map this year. Struggling big time lol

@@adrianamorrison8743 anytime!

A year or two is optimal, but I've been eating canned goods from 2019 on my shelf :)

I hope that for you too! My bean tops have officially all been eaten now. Going to re-plant and place diatomaceous earth down. Sigh. We still have time, we've got this 👍 .. I hope.. lol

They cross-pollinate easily, so if you plant the seed collected from a parent snapdragon, the resulting child plant is not guaranteed to be true to type, and the color of the flowers might be completely different.

Thank you! It was delicious. Welcome to the community :)

It will never cook out completely for this recipe. You will still have a trace of wine flavouring/alcohol- but not enough to get you drunk at breakfast :)

@@ontariogardening Thanks!!

They are Dahlias; I did a whole video about saving both their seeds and their tubers if you look in my garden video play list :) you wait until the end of the season when the heads are completely dry and dead, bring them inside to dry them completely and then voila! I will link you the video in a separate comment

Here is the video with completely information on growing and saving Dahlia tubes and seeds. :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9uiZMt43eC5omw.htmlsi=UOutU9WEFtl3qRfD

Thank you! :)

No problem! Hope it truly helps :)

So disappointing! Sigh. But at least it wasn't just us with the issues, seems to be a common occurrence

I agree totally frustrating.

@@ontariogardening yes! Learning so much from you! Cheers from Alberta

Great question! It hasn't in my experience so far :)

Thanks

That's a great option! If you look into my earlier videos on the canning list, I have done carrot cake jam. Everyone LOVES it. I'm going to try Zucchini Bread Jam as well I think

On one hand I'm going to be sad to see them go (this has been so much fun). But on the other hand.. they're right in the middle of my salsa garden 🤣

Once they are sealed you are able to keep them shelf stable on a regular shelf with your other canned goodies :)

Baby bunnies :)

I have considered fishing line in the past for longevity and durability, but my fear is that it's too strong and would cut/scrape/damage my plants. Would love someone who's tried it to weigh in!

Our golden retriever is pretty good about leaving the garden alone. She knows where she can snack. We have a nest of baby bunnies right now (see shorts) and she surprised me! Not even interested in them. I've never had a Boxer though!

We have magnolia trees at work that are in full bloom. So beautiful! I hope our crops aren't all affected. Grocery prices are already out of control. Thanks for following me along ❤️

I do not- but honestly, it is super easy! You can start inside 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you don't start seeds inside, no problem- sow seeds outside about 5cm deep once your last frost has passed (they like warmer temps). Keep the soil moist and you should have a sprout within 2 weeks :) I would plant multiple seeds per hole to make sure you get good germination and you can either keep them as small clusters (like you see in this video), or you can thin them out after they sprout with a pair of scissors. I hope that helps!

Thank you so much! Which area of southern Ontario? Maybe we are neighbours! Once you plant them, they're super easy. Make sure they stay watered, and fertilizer every once in a while :) they are perennial, meaning they will grow back every year; make sure in the winter to heavily mulch them (I use straw), and then a tarp Overtop works great as extra insulation. Uncover in spring. Hope that helps you! But yes.. I can do a full video for sure!

@@ontariogardening thank you so much, that’s very helpful!! i’m based in the GTA (maybe i shouldve said southwestern ontario haha). looking forward to following your gardening adventures this season:))

I'm doing a "salsa garden" this year- fingers crossed. Hope your planning is going well 🥰

@@ontariogardening That sounds awesome

Thank you- I will check it out ❤

Hope one of them helps :)

That is so disheartening! Do you like garlic chives? You could grow a patch of that, just to get some garlic flavour into your kitchen?

Thank you so much! :)

Hey there! I watched the videos but didn't see anything. Are you sure? Super cool concept of you recommending other channels. I love that! Building community is a must. It is why I like to show people that you can homestead even in the suburbs :)
