Brilliant!!! IM A FAN!

How do you encourage female flowers?

Leaf damange like yellow coloration doesn't mean that corn has bad genetics. That damange is minimal and likely won't affect the final corn cobs, by getting rid of such minimaly damanged plants you are getting rid of a wide range of genetic potencial. Try also to breed corn that is best at regenerating from damange.

Very informative thank you

This is a great presentation.

Does this gentleman offer any of the potato varieties he has developed for sale? If so, please post information. I’m interested.

What is best time for hand polynation

Marte, I hope you see my comment here. I lost yur contact info years ago. Back in 2013 I met you in Bemiji MN and bought 2 Maremma pups from you to help guard our goats. They have been spectacular gaurdians but I lost the male Odin unexpectantly yesterday. His sister "Marta" is sad but still hanging on. The pups worked exactly as you said they would and have been worth their weight in gold! Bless you for providing m herd with wonderful dogs!

I'll be contacting you. At the moment I am growing some of Dave Christensen's Montana Morado Maize in zone 6b in Utah.

I got trombone squash and seminole pumpkins...that never get pollinated. .my peppers are the ones that are suffering from no pollination

GREAT VID !!!,,,ive ate rhubarb for 60yrs,,i grow Victoria from Johnnys Seeds,,its bolting which i wanted it to,,i LOVE rhubarb soup,cover the cut up chunks in water just above the amount in pan ,,boil for about 5-6 min or to your preferred texture ,,add 1 cup of sugar to each cup of boiled rhubarb or to preferred taste VIOLA !!!

cool, learning much from you on this, thanks for sharing

This is what I'd love to do as a job, I've crossed a few things mainly tomatoes and beans but next is potatoes

Hi sir I am using frozen pollen to polinate do you think it will success?

What does the fruit look like if you grow the seeds from a direct and deliberate cross pollinating between a pumpkin flower and a spaghetti squash flower?

I would give most anything to visit this rhubarb shangrila. Very impressive, and thank you so much for uploading this. Not many rhubarb fanatics in my neck of the woods.

Excellent video. Good information and to the point!

😳

Thank you 🙏

Any updates to this?

Don't forget though that you can harvest the male flowers, dip them in batter, and fry them up in oil. Great summer snack!

That was fun to see the beautiful array of ears! It took me 6 year to run into this video. The 4 Painted Mtn ears that you show have perfect rounded kernels. I have been slowly building to create that type. The rounded kernels came from genetics from concho corns from 8,000' elevation in New Mexico. The white 8-rowed cross was an amazing ear. The kernels were rounded and there were spaces between the rows so the kernels could dry. I rarely find one like that. I am jealous of that ear! The color pattern known as "Navajo eye spots" came from breeding to ancient Anasazi corn found in a cave, 1,000 years old. You have had so much good luck with Tuxpeno it must be an amazing line, worthy of bringing it North. It's fun when you discover something that no one ever discovered it's value. I look forward to trying some of your crosses in Montana again. Josh is pretty excited about them too. Your friend, Dave

Why are cut frist emerged silk may it cross polinate

The best squash hand pollination video on KZbin IMO. Thanks so much.

How many females can I male pollinate?

Ive got a small plot with 4 rows of hopi blue corn and 4 rows of honey and pearl f1, the hopi was planted about a week before the honey and pearl. Are these two genes compatible. I dont wanna detassel. Or have hard sweetcorn. Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Thank you for the information on pollinating for the squash. But what do you do if you only have males and no female's to pollinate with?

Squash has a Weiner..lol

Thank You Fantastic video.

thanks for useful info.

one mother 2 different father lol

Very helpful.

❤️

Very easy to follow video... thanks

i dont see any of female flower of my squash...all are male😢😭😢

Useful

Just watched this video. I checked my squash blossoms and found that ALL the blossoms in one barrel appear to be male. The other barrel, placed about 12 feet away appear to be female flowers. I will attempt to pollinate in the morning. Why would one group be all one gender?????

Great vids and advice.thank you.

I have 2 green and white variegated plants that showed up from saved seeds. Has anyone else gotten striped leaves?

Great technique how to pollinate the male and female flower, thanks for sharing to us such amazing informative and educational

Great technique how to pollinate the male and familia flower, thanks for sharing to us such amazing informative and educational

i'm worried that my squirrels will ruin my garden out there. (i'm TRYING to grow pumpkins, squash, cantaloupe, tomatoes, carrots & green peppers & all kindsa flowers) around Halloween, i always let the squirrels carve my pumpkins for me & i'd hate for them to go after the 1s that are NOT on my porch.. 😬 my garden can ALSO b followed... & so can my squirrels... 👌🥰👍 (all are welcome)

I have a volunteer plant that has huge leaves some resembling melon's, some pumpkin. Starting from the bottom of the plant, it is producing and opening male flowers just like in the video. Definitely no female flowers on sight. There are 3 new sucker points that appear to have a flower bud each. Should I prune the plant, or the early male flowers? I saved 2 in my fridge just in case. Thanks.

How many successful fruit should be on one plant, it seems they are usually a few branches in one plant?

Same mother, two deferent fathers ........😉

I did this some years ago, I used a cotton swab that seem to work well. I noticed that many female flowers were not being fertilized.

i feel like i witnessed a rape

One male is enough to cover the female flower of squash

Whats the benefit of man made pollination over bee pollination?
