People are saying Im nuts for planting another batch here in Richmond VA in Late August. They sprouted in 2 days. 4th day I transplanted from a brow bag to the ground. Golden Banton Sweet . I am expecting a harvest Thanks for this video. It encouraged me to keep doing what I am doing.
Oh wow!
Peaches and cream my favorite! 🌽
Peaches and cream, silver queen, and main liner are my favorite three corn varieties. Most definitely the peaches and cream is delicious.
We used to grow quite a bit of Silver Queen. We like the increased storage potential of some of the sweeter varieties. Gives us a little longer harvesting window which helps sometimes.
I had a 100% germination with my peaches and cream that I planted last week 😁 this is my first time planting corn in the fall I’m excited
Great to hear! Fall corn is an excellent treat.
How'd it turn out?
Pre -Row by row fix!!!
New hoss mascot Tiger 🐯
Gotta get it!
This is the corn we planted in Spring two years in a row, this is the best Peaches and Cream! Freezer is full
We don't freeze much, but we gorge ourselves on fresh corn when it gets ready.
Tiger is keeping his eyes on things - "No Mouses on my watch"
Tiger is in training.
Glad to see Tiger~ again! He is very adorable and he seems to love his new home.
He's plum tickled.
Looks amazing, Travis! You're going to have one gorgeous stand of sweet corn!
We sure hope so!
Them stub tailed cats make great companions.
This was a rescue from the local grocery store. A good gardening friend for sure!
Getting readying to plant Ambrosia again. We had a wonderful crop this Spring. Freezer is almost full so we will be giving a lot of it away. That corn is so delicious it’s going to be hard to change to another variety.
Ambrosia is a solid one. It was hard for us to try something different this fall.
First time ambrosia this year....yeah, it's pretty freaking good!
Planted incredible sweet corn mid August it's shin high now. I planted it thick and then transplanted from the field to other parts of the garden
We always like to err on the side of planting to thick. Much easier to thin than to plant skips.
We are in zone 8b also, but in the SE corner of Arizona. You inspired me to plant fall corn here. We did 6 50 foot rows on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I think I will be getting the drip tape next season from you. I use a rainbird now it it is sucking up the water. I have also been planting black eyed peas with great success , we are trying to build the soil up.
Hope your fall corn does well. The drip tape is a game-changer on corn for sure!
Since I've been tarping my plots for the last few years, I rarely disturb the full plot anymore, the exception being to broadfork and when I cultivate the plot lightly with the wheel hoe
and rake out for planting cover crops. Otherwise I do pretty much just what you did there and disturb only what I'm planting in. I leave the cover stubble, like you did, to work itself in. I can see possibly turning in a really thick cover, but other than that I haven't "tilled" whole plots in a while.
There are advantages and disadvantages to tilling it, but also advantages and disadvantages to leaving it relatively undisturbed like we did. We'll actually be talking about those on this week's Row by Row show!
@@gardeningwithhoss Broadforking is pretty major "disturbance" without turning anything, or affecting tilth with spinning tines. The main "advantage" I'm concerned with is saving my old butt some extra work! (although broadforking is major work!) That's my primary motivation for minimal cultivation. Occasionally I run into a situation that benefits from full blown tillage, but I try to avoid it, for our soil's sake as well as my own! I'm getting old! This stuff beats me down a little more every year! :)
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Travis, you make things look so easy! No fall sweet corn here in New York! Thanks for the video!!!!!
If you enjoy doing it, it is easy.
It makes me sad for you New Yorkers, because there's nothing better than fresh picked sweet corn, cooked in a cast iron skillet in the oven. So delicious, my mouth is watering.
@@marysurbanchickengarden I have to agree, Thank you
What you talking about Willis... farmers till the soil, it's what we do! :) Time will tell, but it just seems to me that you would want to incorporate that biomass into the soil, not just leave it on top waiting on the sun to destroy it, and the wind to blow it away as it breaks down. But I'm glad you are trying it, and look forward to your thoughts over time on how that works out. I have from time to time just done strip tilling at the time of planting, but previous to that I would have tilled the entire plot at some point. I know lots of people say you can overwork the soil, and I believe that's possible. I have in the more recent years attempted to till... less. But I still till the soil. It's just so easy to get in their with my tiny tractor and a tiller, and it just looks right...
I really wanted to plant some fall corn, but I'm working hard on building my soil, and fighting nematodes, so I'm doing cover crops on the plot I would have put the corn. My fall peas, and pole beans made it thru the non-hurricane event, (thank you God), and so I'm going to be busy putting up peas and beans soon. The corn will just have to wait till the spring or next fall. I still haven't ground the field corn I grew in the spring. Never enough time to do all that needs doing.
We're not completely sold on the no-till idea, but thought we'd give it a try to show how it could be done on a small scale. No doubt that you'll always get better germination in tilled, well-prepared soil.
Best no till guy I watch on RUclips is Richard Perkins, he uses only compost that he makes himself and has 1 of the most impressive gardens
Perkins learned from Charles Dowding
He does have quite the impressive farm!
@@gardeningwithhoss yeah but he ain't got to deal with heat or red clay only pest he got is pigeon
That looks incredible bro, I managed to grow some sweet corn for the first time this year! It was way tastier than from the shops! :)
Good to hear you had a productive crop on your first try. Home grown sweet corn is the best!
Someone has a new best friend
Too bad I'm allergic to cats. Have to wash hands each time I pet the cute little rascal.
Betting you washing your hands a lot by the he follows you around
I'm coming to your house for super, I know where you live lol. I like my sweet corn cooked in a cast iron pan in the oven with real butter in it. Remember that when it gets ready and I come to super.
Will do! That sounds yummy!
Easy demonstration! Thanks for sharing!
Another great video Travis. I listen to all of them. Ken mcFalls the blind gardener
Thanks Ken!
Pretty cool seed spreader
Blessings
Thank you Carolyn!
I love the ambrosia. Top notch corn. I will be trying the peaches and cream next year and some ambrosia in another plot. Hope it's good, never tried it.
Peaches & Cream is a great one too. It tends to mature a little earlier than most sweet corn varieties.
I'm going for it!!!!
Go for it!
You guys should sell a Hoss tools Broadfork! Just an idea
Thanks for watching.
We love silage tarps. Our fall corn looks good, peaches and cream we did as well, however what amendments of fertilizers are you using? I am struggling to keep it looking healthy. We do not use synthetic fertilizers but still struggling to get it y’all and healthy with organic options
Our Chilean Nitrate is organic -- OMRI certified in fact. And it works great on corn. Here's the link: hosstools.com/product/chilean-nitrate-fertilizer/
Looks Great! My Ambroisa (that I bought from you boys) is about 2-3' tall now. I kinda worried cuz we are expecting 40+mph winds from Dorian later this evening. I never grew corn before, but I'm afraid it might get blown down tonight. Does this mean I lost the crop? Or can I straighten it up and hill it in the morning and it will be ok? Thanks for any advice
It should straighten back up. Last year at the Sunbelt Expo we had corn that was about knee high when Hurricane Michael came through there. In just a week or two it stood back up and we made a nice crop.
Typical gardening is corn potatoes and beans , I am trying to give up high carb foods,but I want to continue gardening. Do you have any recommendations on low carb gardening?
scrowty mcbugerballs any type of greens. Also cauliflower
Fall is a great time for low carb gardening -- lots of greens, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc.
Fresh produce more sugar than starch better for you
Kansas July planting. What varieties of sweet corn can handle the early heat without tasseling out yet mature by late October?
This is the variety we like to plant in the fall and have had good success with.

Hi Travis,
Just want to say thank you for the products and information you and your dad provide. I used my HOSS garden seeder to plant the ambrosia sweet corn this week. It was my first time using it and what a difference it makes. What would have normally taken me 2 hours and a sore back, I was able to do in 15 minutes with the seeder. Now I just need to purchase the drip tape combo and the high arch wheel hoe and I will be set. I do have a question regarding watering. How long do you run the drip system for the initial germination? Right now I'm just trying to keep my soil moist, is that enough? Thanks again!
Thanks Rex. After planting (assuming no rainfall), I always like to run my tape overnight to ensure the row gets good and soaked for solid germination.
Planted Ambrosia 8/28 with 98% germination. About 3”, when should I sidedress and with Chilean nitrate or 20-20-20? Thanks
Hill the corn when it's about 12-18" tall. Before you do that side dress so that it gets incorporated into the soil during the hilling process.
Travis, I had a really hard time with year with grasshoppers. They pretty much destroyed the leaves on all my corn plants. Any suggestions?
With any pest, it's important to have a program and start early. Rotate a couple insecticides every week and spray regularly. You can use something like Neem and Pyrethrin. The adults are hard to kill, but if you can break the life cycle and kill the juveniles, you'll eventually get it under control.
Iv always been afraid of planting corn in the fall. You think it will be ok this late in South Alabama?
Oh yeah you'll be fine. Worm pressure is a little higher in the fall, but spinosad can take care of that.
Hey is that a Rosemary bush next to you at the end of video ?
It is. Seems to help with the skeeters a little when we're in the garden late in the evenings. It also makes a tasty garnish!
@@gardeningwithhoss I am a firm believer in the Rosemary. Best skeeter repellent in the world. Works on deer flies also.
Hi Travis, do you run your seeder parallel to the tape so as not to puncture it? Or, can you run it over top with the tape deflated? Thanks!
With our seeder, the disks won't puncture the tape. So we run it on top of the buried tape.
Need to get a new seeder that looks the business .
Haha. That one is one of the first that was ever produced. Still kicking and have yet to have to replace any parts on it.
I purchased the honey select sweetcorn this year, and stalks look great. The silk is turning the dark brown. But opened a couple and the kernels are still not turned yellow, why is that?
Sometimes the color doesn't develop until the end. It should be yellow when silks are completely dried.
Why do u treat your seeds? Is it necessary? Do u offer untreated seeded? 😊
We don't treat them. They are treated when we receive them. Almost all hybrid sweet corn is treated -- that's just the way it is. If you want untreated corn seed, you have to grow the standard varieties like Stowell's Evergreen which is an open-pollinated variety.
@@gardeningwithhoss Tried that Stowells this year. 12+ ft tall, huge ears, not many issues....not very good tasting corn in my opinion, though I know people like a wide variety when it comes to corn. Still looking for a good open pollinated variety.
Great information!! I have a question, is it to late to start corn now in the last days of August?
Not if you're in zone 8b or lower. We'll be planting ours in the next week or so.
Thank you. Now I know, knowledge is power!! Lol
Why is my peaches and cream corn red and why does it turn the soak water pink?
Some corn and bean seeds are treated, which helps with seed storage and prevents "damping off" or fungal diseases in the early life of the seedling.
i just received your corn seeds and it says 3feet rows,,,, is that for farms so tractors can go through ?? or small home garden as well? my corn plot is 10 feet by 4 feet
I've tried placing rows as close as 2' apart, but I didn't get very good pollination because there was too much foliage and the pollen couldn't get from the top of the plant down to the silks. That's why Ir recommend 30-36" spacing. If you don't mind hand pollinating, you could certainly plant them closer.
When did you plant this corn?
We usually plant fall sweet corn at the beginning of September.
@@gardeningwithhoss I live on NC/SC border so it would probably have to be August for me.
How did it come out?? How many ears per stalk ?? Thks
We usually only get one ear per stalk regardless of variety. But this are very tasty!
What zone are ya'll in? Thanks
South GA - 8b.
@@gardeningwithhoss Awesome thanks. Thanks same as me. Lower Alabama ;)
How can I order fresh sweet corn
We only sell the seeds.
How far apart are your rows
30-36 inches
