Ellsey Kay Gardens

Garden tips and how-to videos on all things gardening, backyard chickens and quail, and building and maintaining a Canadian urban homestead.

This channel is for beginner gardeners, experienced homesteaders, curious chicken fanciers, and anyone who wants to grow as a gardener. I am based in Ontario, Canada, which means that my growing season is from about late April to early October, and there's at least 4 weeks of hard freeze in the winter (usually more like 12 weeks). My zone is around 5b, 6a or 6b, depending on the year. Despite that, I grow food that we enjoy all year long (saving lots of money on groceries!)

Watch my videos to learn how to garden smarter, not harder. I love reviewing useful products, giving garden tours, and explaining how you can have the garden of your dreams. You’ll also learn how to incorporate chickens into a city garden plot, and about all the unusual things that you can grow here in Ontario (including butterflies!).
