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.

Hey i wanna learn about this survival food growing.. im from bc, where do i start or what topic to search? Tnx
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.
We’re in Regina, Saskatchewan. Looking forward to starting a backyard garden
Hello Ashley! i’m a fellow Canadian who, through some spiritual guidance, awoke to her love of local natural food. I hope to discover more of my home country’s natural resources and crops and hopefully grow my own one day. I live in an underground appartment these days. hoping to know of food i can grown inside 🙂
During these times I worried about our supply chain and electrical grid going bye bye and wondering how the heck in this North Dakota climate we’d survive. Potatoes were obvious to me as I know Norwegians lived on them for quite a while during the war but I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to make this list. Albeit it’s a year later but these are still weird times.
Binging!
Hello from Ottawa, we are -29 today 🥶!!! So dreaming about getting outside in the Springtime and creating gardens 🌱🐝🌷 I would plant sunchokes as they will return every year on their own, even though I dig them up in the Fall there are always some I miss and they come back every year, just give them a spot that they can spread, a very good crop to have for dependability. They can be mashed, roasted and can be eaten raw in a salad. Loveage is celery like and a perennial and gets bigger every year so it will provide a fair amount, it can be used to cook with or fresh in a salad and of course could probably be dried. I have sorrel at the cottage and it is generally a perennial and so far it has come back two years through harsh cold winter by the water, this too can be cooked or eaten as a green in salads or put into sandwiches, it will just keep growing through out the season. One more thing that I grow is comfrey, as a medicinal tea, good for the bones, it sends tap roots deeply into the ground, up to 10 feet, allowing the plant to draw lots of nutrients deep in the ground making the leaves high in minerals which can be used as a chop and drop green manure to feed all of your fruit trees and gardens, once established it grows very quickly. Ok that’s good for now this is getting maybe too long. Thank you for your wisdom and helping us all to grow as successfully as possible, I will definitely be watching your videos 😊
This video was a little disappointing. These are the same 5 vegetables everyone else suggests.
Carrots are orange…and red, white, yellow, purple
Wheres the snow?
We still have lots!!
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 🙂
You should also do a video when you include opportunity and monetary costs. Potatoes and carrots are literally dirt cheap but cherry tomatoes are pretty expensive.
Hello from the USA, thank you for the info!!✌
Hey just found your channel, thank god I found a Canadian channel. I’m in north Scarborough Ontario.
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?
Which ones can survive in Calgary outside the whole year with no cold protection or just a frost cloth?
Good video
What? No squash?
Butternut squash great for storage also
this aged well just sub’d from bradford
Lettus, kale, melons, cucumbers, horseradish, cabbages, beans, tomatoes all also grow very easily in Canada (Ontario for sure).
Parsnip. It stores in the ground and tastes great after a freeze.
Great video we are very limited to the crops we can grow here so this is great to know! Thanks for all the tips👍✨
I am super happy to find a great channel in Canada showing me how to grow vegetables in Canada. Thanks so much and I am a new subscriber.
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!)
1 minute tips, 4 minutes advertisement, the rest is irrelevant blah blah blah.
Zone 6b represent 🙂
Yesss Canada! thank you for this looking forward to your channel! 😀
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’/
Subscribed right away it’s been a struggle to find good information for colder climates. I live in Ontario which can get alot of snow and alot of youtubers I’ve seen are in warm climates so I can’t use as much of the information as I would like to. Thankfully I found your channel! Cannot wait to watch your content
If you’re looking for more info on survival gardens check out my latest video on survival garden must do’s https://youtu.be/eWsjUuiYQkI
I live in Washington state but love Canada and my parents lived in Canada before I was born and I visit when I can but I found your site and 😍 love it.
I love how she acts like shes surprised vegtables have nutrients
I chose cabbage. I love sauerkraut and cabbage freezes well. It stores well too. Garlic and onions store well too.
I’m so glad I found your channel!! I’m a huge fan of spaghetti squash. It grows prolifically and reliably here in Edmonton. I haaate carrots….I guess I’ll give them a to again… Lol. So glad you have beets,I adore them. I love making beet humus and pink pancakes
T y for information new that but awsome you tell people 👍👍
Good stuff thanks
Thanks! I am in Rocky Mountain House Alberta. We are also the hail capital of North America. I have a 30 ft by 8 ft hoop house. One 40 x 8 hoop house and a portable car shelter 10 x 20 that is kitted out as a greenhouse with pro plastic and doors. With that heat wave we had this year my peas died, had to replant. I still have things growing now in the hoop houses. I am going to try to add a few layers of plastic inside and try compost heat this year. I want an early start to the coming year!! Thanks for the good list of food that store well.
I was hoping someone in the comments would know what inoculating peas is, but I give up, I’m gonna go check google …

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 🙂
Peas got nothing on lentils protein wise 🙂 fibre too. Per volume lentils 2x protein and fibre. Also, dry lentils store for years.
but beets are bad for with anyone with diabetes…
You’re a smart egg. Wish I could do something that involves farming
I’m surprised she didn’t add Northern staples:
-Cabbage
-Onions
-Garlic
I would have gone for cabbage over zucchini, it’s so easy to store.
Great content, yes I hit the subbed button, hi from Australia 👍💕🍓🍓🍓🍓keep growing
Hello from Ottawa, love your videos 😊 Another survival crop is sunchokes also know as Jerusalem artichokes, easy to grow and appear to be pest free and you can cook them like potatoes, roasted, mashed, fried etc. keep the videos coming they are awesome 🦋🌺🐝
What about green beans ?
If you have the space, I’ll toss in Rhubarb, Asparagus, Onions and garlic.
