***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Tuesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

@Living Traditions Homestead The first thing that poped into my mind re: high nitrogen for the corn is to isolate the drip irrigation from the corn and use a high nitrogen liquid fertilizer.

I find the scoops are too close together for corn and tape them on the back side with clear scotch tape so every other scoop picks up a seed. Also, if you lean it to the right, the side the disc is on, you can walk beside the row instead of having to straddle it while using it. Makes it easier to walk without wobbling awkwardly. Also makes it easier for seed in the bottom of the hopper to fall into the scoops as they come along.

Good morning! I love growing sweet corn. I love growing corn, period..lol IF you are interested. When your corn gets about 2 feet tall, then sow a cow pea next to each one ( 4 inches-ish). I highly recommend one that vines, such as the Hercules. This will do a couple of things for you. It will be a constant supply of nitrogen for your corn- YAY...and it will vine up your corn stalks to help anchor them in the weather- ya again. It will shade the roots of your corn- so no weeds...and then..If you eat them you will have easy access, and it you don't your -Hope will be one happy girl :) Happy growing!

@@StarOnTheWater Yip, the US natives used to grow beans WITH the corn and squash. Peas do the same thing as beans, but peas are NO way very productive for harvest like the beans. So if you just want nitrogen, pick either beans or peas, but if you would like a complimentary crop? Use beans, it is way more productive, and still gives nitrogen. Corn likes lower ph And sandy rich soil that has GENEROUS compost. Corn will starve the soil if not composted.

Not sure if anyone else has suggested it but you might be able to keep the weeds down by growing squash plants among the corn. Native Americans called this the 3 sisters - corn, squash and beans; the corn becomes the pole for the beans and the squash acts as ground cover. As I have a small plot I don't grow corn but when I grow squash it does tend to keep the weeds down. Anyhow, it's just a thought.

Excited about you growing sweet corn this year. Hope it’s a great crop for you. Just my opinion but thought I would share. I have found over the years that freezing corn seems to obtain that fresh sweet corn flavor so much better than canning it.. for some reason the canning process changes the flavor...it’s not a bad flavor and it’s good for making soups and stews and such, but if you want that fresh from the garden taste, we find freezing corn either whole kernel, creamed, or on the cob is sooooo much better... just my take on this subject as we’ve been gardening for many yrs... also if two kernels fall together when planting, you don’t have to thin. I’ve been planting peaches and cream for yrs by hand dropping 2-3 kernals about every 10 inches and it does wonderful... happy gardening guys, love your channel and all that you share with us.❤️❤️

Never have weeds if you use my father's system for a weedless garden. "Son," he said, "weeds are like sins. If you hoe them before you can see them you will never have weeds." What he did was skimmed the surface of the soil (hoe, tiller, stirrup hoe, etc.) as soon as he could after every watering. You occasionally have to pull a weed or two next to a plant, but not often. God Bless!

I’ve tried growing sweet corn. Not a success. Because I work outside the home, I support local farmers as much as I can. Here’s the age old question about corn....how do you know when to harvest corn? The day before the raccoons get it.

@richardbutler5893 4 жыл бұрын
Here in upstate New York, the raccoons tend to get into the sweet corn before it’s ripe enough for the way people like theirs. Fencing is the only way to be sure that the raccoons don’t eat any. The way I tell that the corn is ready to pick is by feeling the shape of the top of the ear just below the silk. If that part of the ear feels slender it’s not ready. When that area begins to feel fuller then the corn is ready. When it feels real plump it’s a bit over mature for the way we enjoy it. You can test this out by feeling of the ears that you buy from the market. You will find out out how those feel before you husk them and that will help you figure out how the corn you grow should feel for the way you like it best.

We just celebrated our 32nd anniversary and have grown sweet corn most years so here’s my opinion on preserving it (hubby does most of the tilling, fertilizing, and garthering). The faster you can go from gathering to in the jar/freezer the better the taste and less starchy because as soon as it’s shucked the sugar start turning to starch. We love corn on the cob frozen, it’s practically as good as fresh. If you like the taste of fresh creamed/fried corn then cut it off the cob by barely taking the top of the kernel off and then getting most of it off the cob by scraping. I have a wooden corn cutter from our local county farmers coop that makes doing bunches so much faster and easier. If you like store bought canned cream style corn 🤢 then go ahead and can it in pints as per Ball recommendations. It tastes just like the tin can, in my humble opinion. 🥴 (a waste of time and a good lid). My corn cutter can cut off whole kernel but it’s easier to me with a knife and it is excellent canned in pint jars for eating fresh or in soups and stews. You have both shared so much with us I thought I finally have a chance to pay you back in kind. Sweet corn is one of our staples, like tomatoes, peppers and okra.

I really wish you would try using the PVC method of planting seeds. Take a 2" diameter piece 3' tall, place the pipe in place, drop the rabbit poop in, drop the seed, and move on. The pipe is pressed in as deep as the seed needs to be, as you remove the pipe, step on the seed to make it have good contact with the soil! It makes planting seeds so much faster and easier on the body!

I know someone who had great success with sweet corn on bare soil using a Troy built bronco tiller. The bronco is 10 or 12 inches wide. They planted closer and thinned down using the bronco to create the rows. They tilled in a grid pattern providing an easy weed free environment.

We buy sweet corn from a local farm. I tried canning it, but sweet corn browns. It tastes fine, but the color is off putting and the texture is overcooked. We prefer to freeze our fresh cut sweet corn in quart size freezer bags. Each bag makes enough for two meals for our family of 5 adults. We do 12 dozen ears for enough to last all year. My chickens get the cobs and then everything is composted.

My favorite melon is Charleston Grey, it tastes great and sweet. I also like the black diamond. Have you tried either one of those?

should try the 3 sisters plantings. Corn, pole beans and squash. Research the method

I grew the same corn. It would have been a success, but I didn't have an electric fence! 😭. It was a large suburb garden. Very large by suburb standards. The squirrels and raccoons had never seen corn before, but they knew exactly when it was time to pick it. Out of three 20" rows, I got about 15 cobs

Griselda Osorio Lol, all one laughing faces will be replaced soon 😃 Good luck with it. I always had some stuff getting stolen, but when the I grew corn, they would chew the stock to make it fall over, then steal the cob. Other than that, it was pretty easy for me to grow. Only other issue I had was big storms could blow them down.

~~Questions ~~ How do you feel about raising Quail vs your meat Chickens, cost and hassel, just getting into quail and I am thinking it would be easier to raise one batch of meat chickens in the spring and one in the fall and be done with it.. We also need to see an update on your Potatoes. Ours look wonderful hoping they are doing just as good underneath.

I love these guys 😍 I have been watching them and their daughters and they remind me that one day my husband, children and I can achieve our dream! Sarah is solely responsible for the fact that I am no longer terrified of canning! You can see my husband's channel "hilltop homegrown" and see how far we have got so far. We only have 0.4 acres in a very built up area at the moment but one day we will be on our own self sufficient farm.

Earth way has a fertilizer attachment that you can put 47-0-0 nitrogen next to your corn after it comes up. I know you might not want to use commercial fertilizer just wanted you to know.

Why so much watermelon? I’ve never heard of anybody canning or freezing watermelon and I was thinking I’d heard earlier that you were only going to grow what you could eat. I’m just curious, I love watching you guys

That's a lotta sweet corn! You might wish you had planted 8 rows of 65 day corn and 8 rows of 85 day corn of just plant half and plant the rest 2-3 weeks later. If you get the production we all hope for you are going to be REALLY BUSY canning it! Keep these great videos coming! Thanks!

I guess you have your reasons for seeding 15 of the 16 corn rows. You started at the second row. See the foot prints.

Have you ever trellised watermelon to save space? I have limited garden space this year and am trying it with my cantelope, cucumber, and pumpkin....we'll see! (The cantelope and pumpkin I am expecting to have to support....I am worried about the pumpkins being too heavy!)

What’s better than watermelon and sweet corn? I know! Cantaloupe! I love cantaloupe, it’s my favorite fruit. No such thing as having too much of it. I grow it here on the boat hydroponically.
