- Our First Sweet Corn Harvest in Two Years! | More Huitlacoche | Community Garden Tour Update
Over the past two seasons we have struggled trying to grow corn, with most of our corn crop instead developing as huitlacoche or corn fungus. Even though we like the taste of huitlacoche, we want the taste of sweet corn more.
So, this season, in an effort to avoid a huitlacoche harvest, we planted our corn crop at our community garden spot. We thought that an allotment garden might provide us with a better result.
In this video we give an allotment garden tour and we harvest corn and talk about some of the corn pests including corn flea beetles, japanese beetles, and even cucumber beetles. We also talk about the two varieties we planted that we purchased from Gurneys: Sugar Baby Hybrid corn and Wild Violet Hybrid corn. Unfortunately, for some reason, our Wild Violet corn turned out to be just white.
That being said, we still enjoyed the taste, and we are now preserving corn for the coming months.
We hope you enjoy this garden tour 2022, and garden harvest 2022. Please let us know if you have any questions in the comments below.

One of the assistant teachers I had in highschool has a PhD in food science and one of her undergraduate jobs in food science was to manually pollinate corn to produce exceptional hybrids, which meant sitting in a tractor collecting pollen stalks from entire fields of experimental corn varieties along with groups of other undergraduates, then doing the same but rubbing the corn silk with the collected pollen onto plants they want to hybridize, it was and still is apparently a very manual job. According to her, because the job was very fast paced, she would often get nasty cuts from brushing on the corn leaves if she didn't wear long enough protective gloves, one time her group ended up removing the silk of the corn they were suppose to pollinate which lead to a significant portion of experimental corn being wasted as well as being a huge waste of time but they weren't punished since they weren't at fault as they were told to desilk the corn and not actually pollinate them.
I suggest for higher yield you can try to collect pollen from the pollen stalk and rubbing them on the silk while they just emerge try to do this on the corn on the perimeter as they get less pollen over all.
Good lord! Look at that huitlacoche I'm already craving for some quesadillas 🤤🤤🤤
Right?! haha.
Do you have access to fresh huitlacoche?
@@GutenGardening once in a while when I go pick some fruit and veggies with the Amish twice a year.
in winter I buy it in jars from the store 😁
@@felipedejesus7088 Awesome! I'm sure fresh is much better. We have even seen canned huitlacoche for sale on Amazon, but we have not tried it.
@@GutenGardening yes fresh is always better. But when is not in season can't do anything about it. As a Mexican I'm used to certain foods like huitlacoche , Flor the calabaza, and the protagonist in my kitchen next hot peppers los Nopales.
@@felipedejesus7088 Awesome! Pumpkin flowers, and prickly pear... we love trying new recipes, and will likely try these in the near future.
My corn is turning out so well and I’m very excited since it’s my first year growing corn
Awesome, and well done!
I just want to comment to thank you for sharing your garden updates. I just love to watch them. Gardeners are my favorite people and There is always so many new things to learn from each other. I garden and make gardening videos too if you'd ever want to visit my garden I’d love to have you! Let’s learn more from each other as we grow!
Thank you so much for joining us and sharing in our garden updates. Our community is very important to us, and we agree, we are always learning from other community members. Thank you so much, and have a great weekend!
So excited for your corn harvest!!!🌽🌽
Us too!
We are too!
Love me some sweet corn! I live in Virginia, 7b…we grew our first successful corn crop as well…but had spotty germination on the first planting in April, and great germination on my second planting which was a month later, in May…and interestingly enough, both plantings were ready about the same time. So I learned a lesson about soil temperature when sowing…better to wait for higher temps
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing. Yes, sometimes after the long winter season we are overly anxious to plant the garden. You are 100% right, soil temperature is very important for germination rates and crop performance.
Yummy. I have a small patch in the garden with corn. I remember years ago in Hawaii we used to buy corn from farmers (only available to them) on the side of the road. They got their corn from the University of HI and it was called Super Sweet #10. And boy was it good. Didn't have to cook it either. I never tasted corn as sweet as that.
Sounds great! We love love love sweet corn, and this season we have so much more!
It's normal for the outskirts of the corn to not produce as well. They get pollinated less and such.
Thanks for sharing
Wonderful. I was going to grow container corn but squirrels ran off with each plant even digging up my collards. This wasn’t in-ground, this was on a table, of all places. 😆😆
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. We tried growing corn in containers a couple years ago and they did reasonably well.
We are so fortunate not to have to deal with too many squirrels here. They can get into just about anything!
@@GutenGardening I’ll try again next year.
Yes!
Dang, that thumbnail!
Good or Bad? Haha
@@GutenGardening It worked like a charm on me, I honestly could not resist to click - Might be different for other people but it was a solid 10/10 for me!
Thank you.
I would guess that corn is a grain.
My favorite way of storing corn is freezing. My mother used to can it, but the jars were a pain to wash, and the taste just wasn’t there, like is in frozen!
My research indicates that corn that is allowed to harden on the stalk is then then classified as a grain. :)
Do you think you may have picked the violet corn too soon? 🤷♀️ I’m growing corn this year for the first time in 6-7 years. It’s called serendipity i think? We’ll see how it goes.
That is possible. We only picked about 8 of those ears and are leaving the rest a bit longer to see if that makes a difference. Thank you for the suggestion. Serendipity sounds pretty hopeful to me. :)
🤙🏽💯
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!
Corn is vegetable when eaten on a cob, grain when its just kernels and fruit when its made into a popcorn. And yes its an oversized grass plant
So very interesting!
Corn is a grass
Corn is grains
Yes. Further research suggests corn is a fruit, vegetable and a grain.
I was given to understand you aren’t meant to grow two types of corn in close proximity to one another, or the cross pollination can cause them not to develop true to the variety. That may be why your violet corn came out white.
A grass
Right! Corn plant is classified as a grass.
