I grew both my first year....kicked arse......boom thanks 5a!

[@joshuajesch7154]

Same here ✊😁

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

Lol you have to try before you can have experience. I say plant away, learn everything you can, even from your mistakes.

[@shanematurin4853]

It will be my first time trying this year we will see if I can get it 🙏🏻

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

@@shanematurin4853 Good for you, I wish you all the best.

[@b.hudgens3376]

What about water melons? We need another video.

[@user-zl7vd6yl3v]

My garden has leveled up due to his channel and products the last 4 years. My tomatoes went from small golf ball size to softballs.

[@itsonlylovehere2]

Amen. I've tried. Wind and critters get the corn and 1 side of the watermelon rots. You are alright.

[@archieburson4301]

Another good video Hoss we appreciate you taking the time . To instruct your viewers in the proper steps to take in planting different crops.

[@bobinmissouri]

so true so true lol

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Much appreciated

[@macktonight9511]

do a video on pop corn like strawberry

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I learned from my failures... I'm very rural and rarely go to the store. I lean towards golden bantam corn and a small blacktail mountain watermelon from saved seed.

[@naomioman3589]

Triple 19 fertilizer before planting 👍

[@danielpatton6931]

Oh, I hope I didn’t make a mistake as I planted a whole field of ambrosia corn

[@slomo1716]

I grew up on a farm, my Mother always had us planting Silver Queen corn. Delish! I received an incorrect order, which has corn in it. I may give it a go this year in my teeny back garden. HEY- what was the April Fools joke this year? Last year I believed your corn video. God Bless y'all!!!

[@carolavant3778]

I've got six more rows of drip tape to install, and then I can plant my sweet corn. This year, I'm planting Incredible, mainly because it did really well the last time I planted it. I've got two friends who bring me venison - I'm hoping for enough to gift them some sweet corn when it's ready, as well as enough put up to last until next June!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds great!

[@dgc940]

Me too Ive grown peaches and cream and candy corn but Incredible has always been my best so last 2 years Thats what I planted.

[@dovey6259]

Incredible is some good corn! I got it in late last year, and it tassled early. I didn't think I was going to get any corn! But I'll be damned! I got corn!🌽🌽🌽

[@janetjones7880]

home grown corn is best - I can mine. Great info Greg

[@garyschmelzer]

Excellent, and true video

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Many thanks!

[@aileensmith3062]

You have been "picking" on corn for a while and Thank You as we are learning so much. We are about 2-3 weeks behind in our garden LOTS of plants inside ready to go outside and the wind will not let up. Wind all day at 30-40mph and gusts up to 70mph. It strips the leaves off most everything pretty quick. Hoping after the first of May and planting some Stowell's Evergreen Sweet Corn. Things go good we might even attempt canning it!

[@NotAsTraceable]

With drip irrigation and extra nitrogen and fertilizer using the Hoss injector I grew 4 plots of corn each about 3 weeks apart spaced at 18 inch rows and 6 inches apart. Each plot is about 12 x 14 feet. It wasn't the tallest corn I've ever seen but the ears were good size and it tasted great. My garden space is limited so I had to go for it. I grew Argent, Devotion, Ambrosia and Obsession. They were all good. I sprayed them about every 4-5 days after they started tasseling or whenever I saw anything that looks suspicious. I also Florida weave starting about about 2-3 feet tall then again at around 4 feet. It's down right heartbreaking to go out after a hard rain and wind to find my corn laying on the ground.

[@joshuajesch7154]

I am fortunate enough to have my garden completely surrounded by cattle panels that are 7' tall because I got out of cattle business but still kept gardening so I repurposed them to keep the deer out. As the corn gets taller I just move my sprinkler stands up on the panels and water gets over the top of my sweetcorn beautifully

[@venidamcdaniel1913]

I have tons of experience in ground but not container garden which is what I am attempting this year by necessity. Whole different animal. Not had a garden in 15 years n miss it so bad. Thanks for your asvice

[@gardeningwithhoss]

You can do it!

[@sharonmckee2403]

Great information!

[@BagsBucketsandBins]

Ha. First time Gardner and I grew them both. Both had issues.

[@tommathews3964]

Amen, Brother! Can't stress that "have a plan" step enough! When you have 300-400 ears of corn coming off at one time, you better have some help and a good plan for processing it!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

That's right!

[@robincamp6122]

I'm excited to give it a try this year. I have a small garden (baby steps), so I'm going to try the 4 sisters in the bed. Thank you, Greg for all your tips. I'm curious... do you give tours?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Your welcome to stop by.

Can you sister plant with sweet corn or just a field corn? Corn Pole bean Winter squash.... The pole bean provides nitrates.. The winter squash provides ground cover.. Help hold in moisture.. If this is possible... Which winter squash? ...Pumpkin... butternut... acorn squash... spaghetti squash?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Check out this article www.almanac.com/content/three-sisters-corn-bean-and-squash

[@robinharrison9358]

Good morning from the Texas hill country! Great video. How much calcium nitrate do you use to side dress a 30’ row of sweet corn? Thanks! Robin

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Side Dress: Apply a tablespoon per plant, or 2 lbs per 100′ row. Apply fertilizer at least 2 inches away outside of plant stems. Do not allow contact with wet plant foliage. Just a little over a half pound for your 30 foot row.

[@nolawarren3560]

You are definitely looking well fed. 😂

[@rodnawilliams9398]

i am going to try to grow corn this year, my first year to do so. I am also wanting to do the 3 sisters but do it in rows, when should i plant my green beans? Should they be planted in the hole with the corn at the same time or just an inch or two away from the corn ? I have never done this before, but i am wanting to try it .. also, what kind of squash can i grow along with them? can i mix it up with the squash, like maybe some winter squash like butternut and yellow squash? also i understand i can also grow melons along with this? I have a 16' x 100' row i am going to plant my 3 sisters ... i am in zone 7b and i feel our last frost date has gone by and i hope to have all of this in the ground this weekend .. unfortunately we are direct sowing all of them .. i am hoping for a good harvest this year .. thank you for information

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Here is a great article for you on it. www.almanac.com/content/three-sisters-corn-bean-and-squash

[@larellesdiyhomestead]

Thank you for this info 🫶🏻Do you use new drop tape every growing season, or every crop?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

No, we try to reuse it 2-3 times

[@rickclooney5461]

Are any of these sweet corn variety NON GMO?

All are NON GMO. No company can sell GMO to the home Gardner.

none of our seeds are gmo, nobody that sells to home gardeners are.
