The DOs AND DONT's Of Growing Corn

[@travismeering1493]

All i grow is heirloom tomatoes and I’m on my fourth year of saving my seeds and growing from them the next year… every year the disease issues have gotten less and less… maybe the plants have adapted a little bit every year… the best tasting tomato to date I’ve found is Cherokee purple… can’t beat it… the flavor is incredible

[@redneckpyromania6965]

Black krim are great too

[@shadyacrefarm1005]

Love the heirlooms. That Cherokee Purple and the Pineapple tomatoes are simply delicious.

[@TheSHOP411]

Same here. My heirlooms I have been saving from for years are doing every it as good as the hybrids.

[@tommathews3964]

Love those heirlooms myself! If you like Cherokees, you might like Black Krim, Paul Robeson, Carbon, Dester, and Black Brandywine. I love those black tomatoes!! You probably know these though.

[@darecofreedomfarm3]

@@redneckpyromania6965 I have a two year old black Krim plant that got too big to fit through the door when I moved the papaya out this spring. I cut it back and stuck cuttings in solo cups and ended up with over 20 viable plants. Just ate one off of one of the plants I set out first from my winter pruning. Perfect clones!

[@SouthPointSurvival]

I love learning about the different varieties of crops on the Row by Row Show. The show was so great that the old goat crawled from behind those canned potatoes to learn more about the varieties himself. Thanks guys!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

correct, thanks for joining us.

[@PearlsLilAngel]

Would love to see Moma Hoss do canning 🌽. I love corn!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Stay tuned

I’ll tell you what, you are some of most wonderful folks I’ve ever listened too next to my gramps and grams! They were both raised back down your way in the teens,twenties & thirties. I learn just about as much from you about gardening as I did about everything from them, and that’s a lot! I’m doing well this Spring’s garden, fallen behind with my Summer garden, but I live in California & SoCal is forgiving. Once I heal from my injuries and we get moved to our Dream Home where I can have a proper mini farm garden, y’all & I will become friendly with my credit card! Thank you so very much for being there for folks like me who want to learn, and you make the tools that need to be used for this type of and size of gardening. I truly appreciate you! Thank you 🙏

[@gardeningwithhoss]

you are so welcome.

Good video! Corn is one of my favorite things to grow. I've grown peaches and cream, ambrosia and the past 2 years incredible. So far incredible is my favorite.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

I plant Hickory King Corn made hominey. I plant NK 199 sweet corn to cut off and put in the freezer. I have been growing Delicious Tomato's every scense my daughter gave her father a 5 gallon bucket with 7 tomato's filled the bucket. They are big and delicious.

What a great episode about corn! Do you have a particular variety of corn you recommend for making and canning corn relish? I love relishes and all things pickled and would love to hear your favorite corn relish recipe, as well!

Something I'll try to work on. I have never made corn relish.

I just started pulling ears of Serindipity this afternoon in Millbrook, AL. Got purple Hull pea vines 7ft tall climbing the stalks. They’ll be ready next

[@gardeningwithhoss]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@oscarlandag1831]

Serindipity sweet corn has a wide harvest window y’all should try it in a trial run I’ve got it planted in triple rows with a double double row every other row 8 in spacing on the triple and double rows 8in spacing in every row staggered and 18 in spacing between the triple and double rows every ear is full. I hit the tassels with a rake handle during peak shed not sure if it helped but certainly didn’t hurt. Husks wrapped tight too. I’ve got 12 35ft rows in a 35ft x 20. It can be planted tight if you lay the water to it and fertilize it right when it need the shot! Happy Growing

[@amandar7719]

Love your videos! I can only grow corn in my small back walled garden that’s surrounded by concrete paving due to badgers, in the UK. I only grow five plants in a large container, then five more in another sown four weeks later, for succession fresh corn on the cob. Works very well. Pollination is good. But we do just tap the plants every day when watering. The plants also add a “tropical structure” to the patio 😃 In the main garden, I’d have to concrete around the entire area and put up badger proof fencing like we have along the main artery UK motorways which stops badgers busting through and making holes big enough to allow deer through. Both animals are a danger to high speed motor way users. I do plant excess sweet corn starts OUTSIDE of my main garden that are usually sacrificed to (easy access) badgers. Planting inside the garden would create a disaster as badgers make holes in the wire for rabbits to hop through, and destroy all plants in the garden to get to the corn. Do you ship to the UK? Or have an Amazon account that ships to UK via Amazon Prime? Nothing on your website about shipping… 😌

[@gardeningwithhoss]

We do have an international shipping option once you place the items in your cart and go to the checkout page you will see it. However, we are not allowed to ship seeds out of the US.

[@cynthiaedwards5149]

Can't wait to see yall on the live tonight! I'll need to check out your fried corn momma hoss. Hubby just bought me 8 ears. Since 8 is too much for supper, I can use 2 ears for the fried corn. Love those gorgeous zinnias too.i would love to be a hoss ambassador, but I gotta practice more on my own garden

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Will see you tonight.

[@gregleach5833]

What is your fertilizer program for sweet corn . I think I remember dad putting down a 13-13-13 at planting then some more of the same when knee high . That was in Ohio , but my parents were born and raised in East Tennessee. Everyone in the mountains grew Silver Queen and Hickory King and planted their beans in with the corn after corn was waist high and let the beans grow up the corn stalks . I think I’ll try the Ambrosia this fall like you said . I’ve used your seed for the past year or so and I do get better germination rates than others I’ve used in the past especially with onions .

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Check out our corn growing guide on our website. It has our recommended fertilizer schedule. hosstools.com/corn-growing-guide/

I'm way behind on my corn this year. I need to get it in the ground this week, but we have gone from low 80's to mid 90's already. Oh well, at least they are on drip irrigation. I'll see how this grows. Planting Primus and Sweetnes this year in zone 8a. Oh, and my "Hossinator" tomatoes are doing fantastic! Oh boy, the "Old Goat" was really shy this week. You can just see him behind the 3 canning jars behind Greg on the middle shelf. He is behind the center jar, the one with the small squash on top of it.

I must be doing something wrong, my squash isn’t putting on any female flowers nor is my zucchini 😩 my neighbor told me to stop doing my fish fertilizer and they will bring on the female flowers, I haven’t seen any bees or butterflies either so I check every morning to see if I can pollinate. Planting my sweet corn tomorrow, my first round was the wrong type but a cooler weather corn so it didn’t live past my 98f days.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds like a pollinator problem. Have you tried planting more flowers to attract the pollinators?

[@tommathews3964]

Hang in there Danielle! It's not uncommon for those squash and zuccs to put on mostly all male flowers early. I'm betting the females will come! The old timers say all those early male flowers are God's way of attracting the bees and other pollinators that will be needed. I've noted it for years with my own plants and the females always show up.
