I applaud you for having your own garden and providing for your family. In this day and age, It's so easy to depend on fast food, junk food, freezer meals etc. Not many people know where their food comes from. Based on those adorable giggles, I have faith that there is still hope, for our children to value food, where it comes from, and how to be self sufficient.
Beautiful !! I'm watching people's gardens from last year since this winter will never end!!! Can't wait to get to digging this year. Agree on the great speaking voice :-)
Lovely video! I am growing corn for the first time this year. I live in Alberta Canada in the hail capital of Canada. We have deer, rotten weather, nice weather, snow, hail, bears and that's just summer!!!! I have learned from your video too, thank you. I also appreciate the care you take with your plants. God Bless!!!
Beautiful garden! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Keep on doing what your doing because you've taught me so much in just 15 minutes. Good luck and God bless you! ~ Nick in TX
Hi George, thank you for this video. This would be my 1st year planting my small vegetable garden in a very small space. I started rooting the seeds in March and planted then in cups. Now they are ready for planting. i have a variety of things going, pumpkins, tomatoes, sweet peppers, corn, beans, egg plan, basil, sage and romaine. Thanks to your video and your great ideas in gardening. Thanks again and God bless :)
The netting is great for keeping the birds out of the berries! They cleared me out daily before I got the bird netting up! Thanks for taking a look and Happy Gardening!
I saw when you planted the corn, so I am trying it this season in NJ.The Coen is kickoff' butt, I hope I have the same good fortune, thanks for the help.
Nice video! Wonderful garden! I'm growing my first garden and trying to learn and stay motivated by seeing what other people are doing. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, George !! You have a wonderful garden, people don't know how much work and pleasure goes into and comes out of a garden. You seem very knowledgeable on gardening and I 'm sure that you already know this, but I will throw it out there anyway. As you corn grows, you can put 4 metal rods, one in each corner and tie a string from one corner rod to the other to help support the plants from getting knocked down by the wind. Keep up the great work, wishing you a great harvest !!
It's hard to believe such a magnificent garden just started a few months before you did this video! Looks like the garden of Eden probably did. If I ever had an envious cell in my being..... ah well! Just got my first garden planted a couple of weeks ago and in central Texas, it's almost (if not) too late. Even though we did have a couple of days reprieve from the heat, we had already had some over 90 degree days and no rain now for quite awhile. I keep filtering water at the kitchen sink to try to keep up with the plants needs for water since our city water is FULL of sodium and my rain barrels are empty. I'm inspired by you now and even though it's late, I'm going to try to plant corn since it won't take too long to get another 4X4 ready and HEY, since I've got the packet, might as well try it, huh? So enjoying all your videos and hope this year's garden is just as productive for you!
I bet you did great this year! Two months of rain. My corn are 50" high amd not even an inkling of any cobs yet. My pollen stalks came out a week ago tho.
You sure have a green thumb! I love how much corn you can row in such a small area. I got a lot of really good ideas just watching your video. Thank You!
Thanks for sharing and I really enjoyed the conversation below regarding the corn to square foot options. We are going to be doing our first sweet corn this year and are absorbing as much knowledge as we can.
A beautiful garden, wow! I can tell you put a lot of work and love into it. You have a nice speaking voice, I enjoyed your commentary. Saving your own seed is the way to go, keep at it.
I just got done replanting them. I only found 18 of the 21 I originally planted. Two of them looked alive and had tiny new roots on them. I think I have a lot to learn yet! I guess there's always room for growth :-) . Thanks George!
thanks to your video I stepped out and did 56 corn in a 4x4 bed. I used cinder blocks so I could plant herbs in the hole of the blocks. also the blocks will never rot.
Nice, I wish I had that kind of space , men You are blessed to have all this sweet satisfaction to practically produce your own food, and healthy one. I hope any body who has this much space do the same as you men, god bless you for sharing all this.
Beautiful and productive garden! I hope to have a yard some day so I can get something like this going myself. Right now stuck with what I can fit on a small porch/patio.
That corn is just amazing. You will have to invite the whole city when they are ready to pick. You will get a bunch all at one time! Everything else is looking great. My garden is suffering from the heat now and things are all ripe. I might have to start some more seed to see what else I can grow during this heat.
Those Japanese long cucumbers make great pickles. I just use salt and garlic with slices of cucumber in a sandwich bag with the air pressed out. I leave it in the fridge overnight. They're ready in the morning so you can pack a lunch with 'em.
I really enjoyed the video George! I do raised bed square ft. gardening myself. I'm going to do a bed of corn this year and have been reading a lot on compost tea. It's a must! I wish i lived next door to you so i could get your gardening tips!
I'm planning to plant corn when I get better. When I went to check my corns with the rain it is dying. I didn't know that you can have so much corn in a small place, Great video George.
Thank You! It is my first time growing it 4 per square foot! I found out last year as long as you can keep zucchini watered you can grow it well in pots!
Impressive indeed, the veggies are lookin good,, second year gardener here, last year was peppers, one tomato and one potato plant, all did ok except the tomato lol, uping my game this year with corn, peppers, onions, tomatoes, squash and Pumpkins, got ya subbed. Peace.
I planted my in the fall which gave them time to root and build energy all winter and spring! I also feed them every 2-3 weeks! Hopefully yours will sprout very soon!
Hi , good job 👍 I like your videos. How long take for corn to be ready? I planted mine in March this year 2020 mixed with beans and pumpkin, I can see it is growing well but I don’t know how long it take to get ready. I am scared if winter comes maybe will not growing anymore.
Oh my goodness, that is a beautiful garden, so much wonderful veggie to harvest soon! I know this is about a year old now from when you uploaded it, but I just found this! Oh rats, the sound was really compromised by wind blowing in your mic, drat! I wanted to hear all you said. Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and I really love your garden, it's so happy there!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have tried corn several years but never really successful. I pulled a few short ears one year. May I ask how do you dress your corn bed and what nutrients do you add every five days? I have a compost pile that I add chicken poop too and dead leaves. I also purchased a bag of nitrogen which I used last year but still didn't have much success. this year I want to plant them in a sunnier spot in my yard and see what happens. I also like how you have many of them together. I think that helps protect them from the effect of the wind.
Could you please explain your self watering situation with the plastic pots in the plastic bins with lids? Thanks. Great looking garden! I am inspired.
Nice garden George, wish I had the space and sun you do! I'm going to try growing corn this spring in a plot that gets mostly afternoon sun (west facing fence).
Hi george, It's doing great, it's june 29th and my corn is 7 ft. tall, lots of ears with silk showing, I may have overdone the miracle grow. Before I planted I turned my compost into the soil. Gregg
that corn patch is nuts! i've learned my lesson with corn. it's better to overplant than underplant it. next spring they'll be just two inches from one to the next because why not? my yeild could have been so much better these past couple years, and next year it will be. how's you garden going this year?
Do to planting it so close together and tilling the ground a foot down before filling the raised bed it holes water really well! When I do water the 16 square feet makes it easy and saves on the water needed! Happy Gardening!
@@GeorgeGray2020 that would be awesome, I'm new to gardening, relying on experience gardeners like yourself, there is just much to learn it's a lil overwhelming, thanks
Did you have to do anything to support your corn plants? We have our first 4x4 plot with 64 plants and got a storm 2 days ago and some got pushed over about 30 degrees or so. I stood them back straight and they seem happy so far.
well kept garden my man, also corn out in the field is ever bit that close if not more at least here in Louisiana I've also seen a lot of cornfields in indiana, I would have had two or three of those boxes growing too,lol.
Hi, quick question...I am raising sweet corn, in buckets on patio..they r so pretty..my question is..when do I watch for bugs or worms ? Or will there be any..my first corn to raise . What do I need to put on them and at what point. Please. Ty
I really like your garden. How did your corn turn out? I'm wanting to plant corn next year but I don't have a lot of space. If I can get 60+ corn plants in a 4x4 area that would be great! Just wondering if yours turned out good so I know if I should give it a try or not.Like your garden by the way. It gives me inspiration to do the same. I'm new to gardening so I'm still learning a lot!
Thanx for sharing your experience. Experimenting now with similar (only half as many plants but still 2-3 times the normal yield per sq. ft.) planting but on the ground (not raised bed). Not that I don't believe you but I would liked to have seen the ears in the fully mature state on the stalk as a final tribute to your efforts. How big were the ears? Did they develop to the full potential size? Some of the comments below refer to the "Suckers". There are several (easy to find) university studies that provide evidence that the suckers DO NOT (not shouting, just emphasising) produce any negative effects on the end product. Their results not mine. Thanx again for sharing. I plan to share my own result as well later when the final products proves out (if in fact it does, but all signs are good right now). We are in Western Montana at 3885' elevation and things are never certain til the proverbial 'Fat Lady' sings ... BA
Hi George. Well I did what you did and planted my corn also quite close together (4 per square foot). Mine also seemed to come up later (knee high), but shot up in August to above my head. I got about one ear per plant, some beautiful and large and some very sporatic rows of kernels, but even the smallest ones were fabulous tasting. I'm a first time gardener, so pleased I got anything at all. Tomatoes, except cherries, were ruined by the rain of course. Next year better (under cover). I have followed your garden and even made a video diary of my own (Square Foot Gardening - Makkelijke Moestuin by Linda Casey). I hope to tidy things up and get things well tended to for next Spring. Thanks for your videos that helped me get started. How did your corn turn out?
Awesome Glade you tried it and had success! my second bath is doing well and I will post a video instead of pulling them all aqt once I pulled 16 and will pull 16 to 20 a week! Happy Gardening!
I had corn last year in my 4x6 raised bed and I think I spaced them out almost 10 to 12 inches each. I'm thinking of spacing them about 6 inches this year because last year, I think they were spaced out too far and not all of them were completely pollinated. I think if I space them closer then maybe when the wind blows they will be a little thicker and increase the chances of the pollen making its way onto the silks. Do you think 6 inches is okay?
What I like about this youtube episode is how your are so calm and informative.
I applaud you for having your own garden and providing for your family. In this day and age, It's so easy to depend on fast food, junk food, freezer meals etc. Not many people know where their food comes from. Based on those adorable giggles, I have faith that there is still hope, for our children to value food, where it comes from, and how to be self sufficient.
This will be a valuable lesson. Space corn a little more.
Compost tea is a great way to feed heavy eating plants! Happy Gardening!
Ahhhh, George, your a man after my heart, LOVE a man that gardens and takes some pride in it. GO YOU!!
Beautiful !! I'm watching people's gardens from last year since this winter will never end!!! Can't wait to get to digging this year. Agree on the great speaking voice :-)
Lovely video! I am growing corn for the first time this year. I live in Alberta Canada in the hail capital of Canada. We have deer, rotten weather, nice weather, snow, hail, bears and that's just summer!!!! I have learned from your video too, thank you. I also appreciate the care you take with your plants. God Bless!!!
Beautiful garden! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Keep on doing what your doing because you've taught me so much in just 15 minutes. Good luck and God bless you! ~ Nick in TX
I just subbed you! Thanks for watching!
Hi George, thank you for this video. This would be my 1st year planting my small vegetable garden in a very small space. I started rooting the seeds in March and planted then in cups. Now they are ready for planting. i have a variety of things going, pumpkins, tomatoes, sweet peppers, corn, beans, egg plan, basil, sage and romaine. Thanks to your video and your great ideas in gardening. Thanks again and God bless :)
Be sure to post your garden videos I would love to see your journey!
The netting is great for keeping the birds out of the berries! They cleared me out daily before I got the bird netting up! Thanks for taking a look and Happy Gardening!
I saw when you planted the corn, so I am trying it this season in NJ.The Coen is kickoff' butt, I hope I have the same good fortune, thanks for the help.
Awesome looking garden!! Innovative. thanks for sharing this. When you think yo don't have enough space.
Very nice garden, thank you for sharing. Your corn is amazing and you've given me an incentive to try growing them this summer.

How did your corn turn out? Did they do well growing so closely together?
Looks really nice, this will be my first year putting in a garden from scratch hopefully one day get a set up this nice going
I just got done replanting them. I only found 18 of the 21 I originally planted. Two of them looked alive and had tiny new roots on them. I think I have a lot to learn yet! I guess there's always room for growth :-) . Thanks George!
Man you are killing the game! I wanna be like you when I grow up.
I was really impressed by your corn patch! Nice job!
thanks to your video I stepped out and did 56 corn in a 4x4 bed. I used cinder blocks so I could plant herbs in the hole of the blocks. also the blocks will never rot.
That first squash plant is ginormous! The corn patch is coming along really well. Can't wait to see you harvest from it!
Wow! What a phenomenal garden. This is my dream garden. I’m new to growing vegetables. You’re video is inspiring. Happy gardening!

hey George Gray awesome garden. I'm going to use your advice on the sweet corn and plant 64 plants this Spring and see how it goes. Thank You.
Amazing corn patch.Trying something similar in a rooftop container.Great kitchen garden.
I'm planning to plant corn when I get better. When I went to check my corns with the rain it is dying. I didn't know that you can have so much corn in a small place, Great video George.
Thanks a lot for sharing bud. You're pretty good at growing that corn! :D
Dude that's amazing almost a full time job. I'm just getting started and jealous.
Thank You! It is my first time growing it 4 per square foot! I found out last year as long as you can keep zucchini watered you can grow it well in pots!
good old fashioned gardening....I love it!

Your garden looks just delicious! Great job. Your peaches look beautiful too.
I figured you could get that much in there. I was thinking of doing this again but on a much larger scale. Was thinking of planting my back yard. lol
Thank You! The squash plants seem to love coffee grinds! The corn Is doing better than I expected! Happy Gardening!
Hi , good job 👍 I like your videos. How long take for corn to be ready? I planted mine in March this year 2020 mixed with beans and pumpkin, I can see it is growing well but I don’t know how long it take to get ready. I am scared if winter comes maybe will not growing anymore.

I'm so jealous. This is what I aspire to. I have started my first garden, and now I have the bug.
All I can say is WOW! Subscribed!
Love your garden, hope you make some more videos soon.
I agree with you on the compost tea... I use it all the time

How is your corn doing Gregg!

Ooooh, I'm just sowing my corn now... this is giving me ideas :-D
Impressive garden sir!
thankyou , great vid, im just starting out and you have helped me .thank you .
You should upload your garden!

As long as the top of the crown is above the ground I wouldn't worry! My crowns took a few weeks to get going also! Hopefully they will take off soon!
Hey Van I'm from NY also Yonkers! I live in Tennessee now and you should have no problem doing the setup I'm doing with the corn!
George Gray
I always forgt to ask u hw many ears of corn did u gt from that. Thx
I ended up with around 50 nice ears. Going to do it again this year!
You have a beautiful garden
Thank you very much. I’m thinking about uploading videos this growing season.
@@GeorgeGray2020 that would be awesome, I'm new to gardening, relying on experience gardeners like yourself, there is just much to learn it's a lil overwhelming, thanks
If you're not up north you can have corn by July 4th if winter doesn't drag on. Even with a really late start they should be tasseling before Jul 4th.
Did you have to do anything to support your corn plants? We have our first 4x4 plot with 64 plants and got a storm 2 days ago and some got pushed over about 30 degrees or so. I stood them back straight and they seem happy so far.

Nice job, George!
Hi George. Well I did what you did and planted my corn also quite close together (4 per square foot). Mine also seemed to come up later (knee high), but shot up in August to above my head. I got about one ear per plant, some beautiful and large and some very sporatic rows of kernels, but even the smallest ones were fabulous tasting. I'm a first time gardener, so pleased I got anything at all. Tomatoes, except cherries, were ruined by the rain of course. Next year better (under cover).

Wow! I thought I might be crowding my corn with 38 in a 4x8 area. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you.
Any videos on how this turned out?
Awesome garden, how do you grow the cabbage and cabbage family plants without losing it to cabbage worms??
I had corn last year in my 4x6 raised bed and I think I spaced them out almost 10 to 12 inches each. I'm thinking of spacing them about 6 inches this year because last year, I think they were spaced out too far and not all of them were completely pollinated. I think if I space them closer then maybe when the wind blows they will be a little thicker and increase the chances of the pollen making its way onto the silks. Do you think 6 inches is okay?
Is there a final update has to how the corn harvest went?
