Providence is a rust resistant version of Serendipity , both are bi-color. I've been growing five acres for over 25 years, started with Serendipity, then Providence, and then went to BT Providence{ BC0805} for the last 10 years. I have also started to grow SY Quicktrip 72 day .

You got me hooked on ambrosia several years ago we love that stuff

[@janaingeorgia]

Thanks for the information on corn. The goat is behind the carrots.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Correct!

[@bobbyevans9941]

Perfect timing. Getting the ground ready now. Will plant in a couple of weeks. Got my second spring Hoss order today. Looking forward to seeing those Thom onions multiply.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Good stuff

[@sherisemckinzie7812]

I grew the flowers for my daughters wedding last year. I have never been so stressed growing things before. Old Goat hanging out behind the carrots

[@sheraldtaylor1297]

I grew Incredible the last few years. Trying a different variety, Passion, this year. I still have a few weeks before my average last frost date. Guess I could go ahead and put in the pre-plant organic fertilizer. I will check your growing guide. I think it will take me several years to soak in all the information, but really enjoyed it.

[@EventHorizon34]

Montauk is a synergistic that is a great variety that isn’t talked about that much in the South. Its widely adapted, and it always does good for me in the South. It’s high yielding too.

[@agapefield]

❤❤❤I'm with Momma Hoss Sheila about cutting and scraping sweet corn. It makes the best Mache Choux (Cajun Fried Corn)! Yummy!

[@natashacrystal6490]

That is really sweet to convert your garden space to a flower garden for a wedding! I bet your son and future daughter in law appreciate it greatly! The old goat is hiding behind the carrots. We have a huge stink bug problem here so I’m hoping they don’t get to our sweet corn or tomatoes.

[@Keith_Alamond]

Good morning my Hoss peeps. Old goat is chillin with the carrots.

[@monkeyfoodgarden]

Thank y'all. Very interesting topic this week. Enjoy learning about new varieties that I have never grown. Bugs were a big issue for us last year. Already have our corn in the ground here in South Louisiana. Mr. Old Goat is behind the carrots on the shelf behind Mr. Greg. Wishing y'all a blessed day.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I'm so glad this is the topic of the week. I grew corn like 10 years ago and swore I'd never do it again. The disappointment wore off and I decided to try again this year

[@randyczapansky7172]

Nice good Advice. The old goat is hiding behind the carrots just behind greg in the corner

[@sdfft820]

Now just imagine a flower farm that produces all kinds of edible flowers. Food for thought. 😊

[@aileensmith3062]

Well we thought we knew what varieties of corn we were going to grow. So with the exception of the Blue Hopi Corn. Gotta have our blue corn meal for excellent Navajo Fried Bread and Navajo Tacos. So now to looking at the sweet corns again and deciding on two! It is a well known fact and goats will eat just about anything. ACTUALLY that is generally false. So THEE Old Goat is trying to fit in behind the carrots in hopes of nibbling when no one is looking. As always Thank You for another informative and fun video!

[@bamatractor]

Not sure how much corn we're planting this year ... had to give away a bunch last year because of health issues. Hopefully that's fixed, so may try again this year. We dried a bunch of our corn last year, so going to try planting that. It's either Peaches & Cream or Ambrosia. Old Goat over to Greg's right 👍

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

We love honey select, we’ve grew it for several years now, grew some serendipity last year too and really liked it as well. Many years ago grandpa was dead set on silver queen that’s all we ever grew that’s kinda how I feel now about honey select lol

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

Every time I grow sweet corn it gets about 3 feet tall then tassels and silks at different times. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong 😢

[@gardingyrl3501]

what is a good variety to plant in SE Michigan

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Serendipity Synergistic Sweet Corn Combines the field-holding ability of other varieties with the extra sweetness and shelf life of sugar enhanced varieties. growhoss.com/products/serendipity-sweet-corn?_pos=1&_psq=+sere&_ss=e&_v=1.0&variant=47689296052534

[@flyfishdr]

I have an 8 x 20 ft bed ...is this big enough for corn pollination?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes Since sweet corn is pollinated by the wind, it cannot be planted in a single row. Even two rows of corn will not pollinate correctly. A plot 4 feet long by four rows wide is the minimum to getting good full ears of sweet corn. Sometimes you can get by with three rows.

Old Goat is playing behind the carrots. I love sweet corn but don't have enough room to really plant it. Can't get my husband to till up anyone of the backyard. Hate Root Knots nematodes.

[@Justgrowit-v8j]

My husband wants the Hoss hat like Greg is wearing in this video. I don’t see it on the store website. How can I buy one?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

That hat was given to Greg, not one we sell.

[@Justgrowit-v8j]

@@gardeningwithhoss ok, thanks for responding!

[@kelliwebb2870]

I have a question... are any of the seeds mentioned gmo? Is your guest a commercial grower?

[@gardeningwithhoss]

None are GMO. He is not a commercial grower.

[@OpheliaTheCat]

Can you plant corn on a double row with drip tape? Or is that too close together? 🌽🌽 My rows are 4 feet apart.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

yes

[@christystone6224]

Are these gm? I’m hearing modified corn in your words.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

no
