Managing the Weeding | Cold Climate Gardening

Weeding … it's a never-ending task, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. In this video, I'm sharing my complete weeding routine for my large Saskatchewan yard: my philosophy on managing weeds instead of eradicating them, my favourite hand tools and mulching strategies, and the organic pre-emergent I'm testing this year to help with weed control in my rock paths. I also talk honestly about when and why I use targeted herbicides as a last resort—because gardening in a cold climate with a big property isn't always picture-perfect. Welcome to MySaskGarden. If you're a gardener in zone 5 or colder (geographically much of Canada!), you're in the right place. I prove that you can have a great garden, even with a short season and deep freezes. If you're new here, this channel is dedicated entirely to helping you grow a beautiful and productive garden in a short-season, cold-climate. I cover everything from starting seeds indoors to dealing with early frosts and making the most of every gardening day. Hardy shrubs & perennials, colourful annuals, fruits & short season vegetables - I grow them all!
