- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Corn IS Summer! Delicious cobs of buttery-rich sweet Corn straight from your own garden is a delight everyone should know. Very much a warm-weather crop, Corn is normally direct-sown into the mid spring garden when the temperatures of the soil have reached at least 50F (10C).
However, there's 2 ways to plant Corn actually, and in Part 1 of this 2-part video series, I'll show you both! Direct seeding, easy and straight forward, and starting early indoors, like we do tomatoes and peppers! Good stuff, if you love Corn as much as I do, then you gotta check out the new method for growing them in biodegradable pots!
2021 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

I used toilet rolls, filled with rabbit poop and about 1 inch of potting soil on top, planted my 🍅🍅 and 🌶🌶 spouts, that I sprouted in plastic zip bags. I have also been using butter boxes for my squash and pumpkins. I also am using cracker and oat meal boxes for planting in, have so far found I like using cardboard boxes and such in sted of plastic milk jugs and yougert cups, but on the down side the paper will biodegrade before you are ready to plant out if you start your seed to early. I am very new to gardening on my own, gardening was something I done with my mom she loved it and I enjoyed the gardening, spending time with my mom and learning what she knew and new things with her. She was an amazing woman... She had such a love for life and people, Could make mud beautiful, and bountiful, and unusual into why had we not been doing this forever.
When my mom was still with us, she and I grow an heirloom 🌽 called stouls,( I may not have spelled it correctly) it eas a white 🌽 that was know for growing to ears per stalk. I am going to try a three sisters planting this year. I am all about doing lease and getting more. Lol and I love growing 🌶. I want to grow enough to make my own sweet 🌶 and 🔥 🌶 powders salsa and jellies. I made a few jars of jelly last year for the first time ever making jelly and I made some pepper jelly I love making and growing foods. I want to grow enough for my 👪 and help other 👪 too... Oh and I want to find vegetables that are pretty as well as productive, I want my garden to be my 🌼 🌼. Lol
@@hands2hearts-seeds2feedamu83 So awesome Laura! I hope your garden is so bountiful for you this year! :-)
Any recommendations for growlights on Amazon? Whats the optimal lighting strip vs lamps? Thanks in advance
I start a lot of seeds in trays and then move them to coffee cup wraps - the brown cardboard that goes on the coffee cup so you don't burn your fingers. They are bottomless and work great - I saw them at the coffee shop and gave them a try. I ended up buying some more on Amazon. When I used paper towel rolls or newspaper pots - I never bothered with a bottom - once the plant starts to grow it will all come together - like a soil block - only easier.. This is a great channel - I look forward to new ones. I started my first garden in 1942 - it was a true Victory Garden. Every home had a garden - had to grow your own - food was scarce.
So amazing Angus! Tried and true methods refined over the years.... Love it!
Growing corn for the first time this season. Thanks for this one. You're an inspiration.
Dude that’s how I’m going to germinate literally all my seeds for now. Wow
Like your video alot , really. I learn alot by simply watching videos like yours , even though I have been an avid grower for over twenty-five years . I feel you're never to old to learn even more.
Keep up the tutorials , there are people , like myself who do watch them !!
I have an unheated greenhouse made from old windows and it stays cold at night in the spring. I have 3 heating mats of this brand. They work wonderfully! Having trays in the house was a terrible mess with potting soil in the carpet and all over. Talk about being on the gardeners crazy train! So grateful my husband built me a wonderful greenhouse and with these mats, it’s like growing in the home without the mess! Love your videos. Living in the puget sound area, i need all the information I can get for my 8b-ish zone!
That's so awesome you have that space. I'm close to you in Victoria, BC! Unheated greenhouse as well, but it does have power, so lights and heat mats fits the bill. :-)
I have planted corn two years in a row ! Had no idea how they pollinated.. thanks for explaining it so easy. Anyone loving corn check the other videos! POPPINAWESOME!
I've been able to plant corn as close as 8-10 inches and still get good results. It's windy where I live; so, pollination isn't a problem. One thing that I have learned in all the times that I've grown corn is that it is a heavy feeder. Even when I've used organic potting mix in the garden, I still have to add more food to the corn plants.
Right on Donna! Corn loves its food, no question!!
Great biodegradable ideas!! Thanks!
Hey, thanks for watching! Should be planting soon so we can see the bio pots in action! :-)
hmm, I actually never thought about growing corn! thanks for the idea!
Best of luck if you do!
Great idea to soak the corn seeds for 24 hours before planting them - much appreciated! I have subscribed…
Kia ora from New Zealand. Brilliant! I love the cardboard roll seed planter idea! I always save mine anyway for the compost, but will def be doing my seeds this way next spring. Although down here in the antipodes we can grow crops year round - just not all those lush summer ones. Thanks for all your informative videos.
Thanks so much I plan on growing my first batch of corn this year.
Awesome! This one gonna be good! Lets go summer!!!!
Summmmmmmmmmeeerrrr!!!!
Wow really got to try this. First time for corn
Cheers theresa, thanks for popping by. Give it a try, once you get a crop under your belt, you see that Corn is pretty straightforward if you get your spacing and timing right.
I will attempt to grow my corn in the East Kootenays this spring in large grow bags and/or large 5/10 gal paint containers using the start up technique as shown on this video......cheers😇
Right on William! Tight spacing....could be really good for corn and the pollination rates! Count me in!!
Thanks for a cracking video. I shall tell my youngsters to watch it.
I started my corn when I started the tomato and pepper seeds. Needless to say it was way too early. I have another round I plan to start a week from the frost date. Once again amazing video.
Ha ha, been there, done that...nearly every time. I always forget how fast it grows and how it doesn't really need that head start! Cheers. :-)
Thank you! I love your teaching methods. You are clear, precise and to the point. Not to mention silly at times. Keep it up 👍.
Thanks. Keep ‘em coming 👀❤️👍
YESSS I FAIL THIS CROP EVERY YEAR
THIS WILL HELP ME A LOT
Right on Liam, hope this helps!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Same here in Edmonton so hard to make it grow, I will try your method to start indoor. Thanks
@@ceasol definitely harder... And that's totally climate induced. Instead of a nice gradual cool season from winter into summer, the prairies often skip spring and go right from cold to hot. Not condusive to growing great kale. Growing indoors will allow you to get the plants big enough to take advantage of that little window before summer gets too hot! Best of luck!
There's a saying for corn, knee high by 4th of July. If it is you will have a good crop. I also tried before, I had a fall wreath I had bought on my door that had decorative indian corn on it I took apart the corn and planted the kernels in a large flower pot and the grew and gave me alot more indian corn the following year for more decorating.
Nice Terri! Never heard that before! :-)
I bought corn in a seed pack. Soaked in water for two days. Then put into a wet paper towel, that into a plastic bag for days in a dark place. Checking them after then placing them with their lil sprouts into soil. Now let's grow corn !! 😊
Your son is beautiful God bless that smile throwing corn in the pot 🙏 😅
Ha ha thanks! I think so too, but I'm quite bias! :-)
I have some space in my side yard garden I may try growing some corn in now! Thanks 😊👍
Do it joan! Look forward to the epic bounty! :-)
Last year I started my corn seeds in egg cartons just a couple weeks before planting them out into large containers. I like your method of starting indoors! Thanks for sharing.
Okay dude you had me at "corn-a-copia"...I'm gonna try your method in Okinawa!
As someone that lives in the corn belt of the Midwest, and can get all the corn you can eat. I still grow my own, And you touched on all the main points i would have given. thanks for the guide for those that dont have have the neighbors to look too for this info. on part 2 you should talk about the nitrogen and water requirements of corn as it a game changer ;)
Thanks so much Jacob! That means a ton...especially coming from someone who lives in basically Corn Country! :-)
Excellent video as always, Jeff. 👍
My next door neighbor always grows boatloads of delicious, sweet corn...so I don't have to, lol.
Ha ha so luckyyyy! ;-)
Love the end-of-video summaries.
Cheers Jody, I find they help me as well! Make sure I don't miss anything, ha ha! :-)
Had no idea you could start them early like this. I do use biodegradable pots for other plants that don't like their roots disturbed. So, I am going to try both methods this year.
I have started sprinkling cinnamon on my biodegradable pots, though, to help prevent mold/ fungus issues since the pot itself stays wet.
I didn't have any problems with transplant shock either but A LOT of people say not to EVER transplant corn. I used paper towel rolls last year the same as you. Worked awesome. this year I may do soil blocks instead.
I totally heard that too Robert. Never a problem with transplant shock.....but now with the paper towel rolls, it'll never be a problem anyways! Cheers man, thanks for watching. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Oh the videos are great and to the point and organized in a great point form format. Plus you're Canadian like me hahaha . One thing I wanna ask is about the tip of the cob; I hand pollinated last year and every kernel came up but I don't know if I harvested late or early but the tip of the cob kernels looked "dead" but the rest were delicious maybe a bit hard. If it was my hand pollinating how did I miss it on pretty much every cob? was it pests maybe? There was earwigs around. Any insight would be great.
Great video! I will definitely try starting them indoor this year. Cheers:)
Awesome Gazoan, best of luck!
I use old toilet paper rolls for mine, good use of trash recycle, great video 👍🏻
Great video! informative & easy to do!! Thank you!!
Hey, thanks so much, and thanks for watching!
I ordered some glass gem corn this year can't wait to see how it does
Right on Patty, let us know how that works out! :-)
Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot from you 👍
Awesome! Thanks for watching! :-)
I'm hoping to have space to start my corn indoors this year. My wife is sowing a bunch of flowers so we're in competition for space under the lights!!! Good tip on soaking for direct sowing. I've never tried that
Ha ha, I can imagine the arguments being made Dave.... "but you can't EAT the dang flowers!.....". LOL
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms hahaha, I don't mind the flowers :) Some are perennials for the orchard to start building a permaculture system
@@OakKnobFarm No question Dave...I need to embrace the flowers more myself too!
Thank you so much for this as I was going to just plant outdoors by seed. I’d rather start indoors.
Right on Amanda, best of luck this year! :-)
I have grown my own bloody butcher corn, sweet corn and mini popcorn and it was soo damn good
Right on Robin! :-)
This will be my first year growing corn. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. By the way, I found my pepper seeds and melon seeds! Now I have double because I had bought some more. 😁
Hey Suzanne, you got this. Full sun, plenty of nutrients, plant closer together than you think....I think you'll be just fine! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I'm going to keep you posted and follow along with the videos I'm saving of yours with the steps.
@@suzanneweary9739 awesome, look forward to seeing the bounty!
Was about to ask a question about planting. But you answered it at the end. It's in video #2. Lol 😆
Ha ha ask anyways! If it's about Corn, it's relevant!
Is there a video #2?
Cornucopia 😂. Love the puns!!
Ha ha thanks Christopher! :-)
Great video very helpful ty
Root trainers work great for corn also...oh and peas too!
For sure Kevin!! :-)
I had directed and potted corn seeds last month, some are over one foot tall now outside my yard. Almost are seeded, and I will do more today. Can't say the same for the other seeds. I agree to start seed indoor first, since real estate is expensive. The only thing I may disagree on is that temp above 50, since I am having good success with my corn when overnight air temp is always around the mid 40's.
Beauty! I will do both direct seed and indoor early to have that staggered harvest. My suggestion on the 50F is not only standard, but it has a deeper application. When you are in the 50F's, the danger of going back to the 20F's or 30F's is very very low. In the 40F's, that risk is higher. Its not that corn can germinate at 40F...its that planting that early you run the risk of a quick freeze. So its more of a TIME thing than a direct temperature requirement. Loom forward to your corn bounty this year Mark, make sure to report back with your success! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Totally agree. Since I live in SoCal, we really don't have a quick freeze problem, but real estate problem. Haha. I will let you know when you do another corn video in the summer.
@@markho5627 Yes, exactly. Perfect example of geographic specific. In Cali where you are, once you're in the 40F's, there's likely no turning back, which is green light for planting all the way. Good stuff! :-)
That paper towel roll planting is a great idea, less shock to the plant when transplanting. Will that work with other plants? Tomato, cucumber for example
Yes Stephen, 100% will work for all transplants!
Thank You
Cheers Michael! :-)
Awsome info, thank you!
Thanks Kai, appreciate the kind words!
Great video and perfect timing . I am sowing some more seeds today, and now I will bump back on starting my corn. This will give me time to save enough rolls. I think I will take advantage if that for some beets and lettuce. Here in southern Ontario very warm last week, but this week temps taking a dip again.
Right on, best of luck! That's a perfect example of where starting indoors helps... Unpredictable spring weather!
Thanks for info, great stuff👍👍
Cheers Mark, appreciate that, and thanks for watching. :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms love watching you videos, been great through lockdown and info has helped a great deal👍👍
@@markfrancis9106 appreciate that Mark. Definitely timely niche to be in, one positive of the whole situation....
oTTAWA ON- awesome video thank you Ill be planting indoors soon
I guess you could call our Amarukhan maze a grass, but really its a grain more akin to wheat i don't think most people realize it. This is how historians got away with calling pictures of maize grain or wheat because they are related and almost one in the same just different uses and such. Good video btw.
Cornucopia is good! Hope to do better next year.
Great video. I am up Island have my first crop of corn in, planted mid June though.
Right on Kim! What variety did you try this year?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Honey Select from Stokes which took forever to get here. I haven't seen anything other than leaf growth so far, so we shall see if I actually get corn. Keeping my fingers crossed.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I have a question. Does this look right for corn planted mid June? They are all the same.
@@kimmcamp was there a picture Kim?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Yes, sent it to your facebook page message
I just have one piece of constructive criticism. About two thirds of everything you said sounded like a question and it became really distracting after a bit. Great information, this clarified some things for me that will make it a much easier growing experience. Thanks again so much!
I got my corn in late last year and if it wasn’t for the tropical storm mowing them down they would have turned out ok. This year I’m going to get them I. On time and hopefully if the unthinkable happens and we have another tropical storm they will stay upright!!
Best of luck Mike! I hope to hear about the epic harvest!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks Jeff!!
I did some corn in root trainers this year to hopefully get a head start they have just started poking their little heads up fingers crossed 🤞
Right on Ali, best of luck!!
I had no idea you could start corn inside and transplant it. Great video. But I'm curious as to what size the paper cups are. 8oz, 10oz ? I'm really trying to get away from using plastics so much.
Yeah Troy, pretty cool eh? A little more work than direct sowing, but it gives you more control and it allows you to multi-crop the area, along with a slightly earlier harvest! :-)
Can I grow it in the plastic kiddie pools. My Georgia clay backyard isn't good for anything. I use raised garden beds for everything a container garden.
If you can get the right drainage holes in them, you can grow in anything! :-)
I saw a neighbor grow a line of corn along their the south side of a north 6 ft. wooden fence. The sun kept in warm and the wind didnt blow it down. Seemed to do well so Im trying this because I dont have much space for a patch of corn and just want some fresh this year.
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
My tp rolls were growing white fuzzy mold, so I needed to spread them out in doing so the roots thats are shooting out of the bottom are not protected from the grow light, what should I do to protect them or do I even need to worry? There only 8 days old and I wasn't planning to pot them up quite yet, but will if its a good solution. Ty😊
Okay--- so I want to start a little early- (Ottawa) So Im going to use toilete paper rolls- keep them longer giving them more room to grow. I have a corner beside my house that gets full sun all day I am hoping to grow corn there.
Did you say only two (2) ears per stalk? I don’t have much space; I was hoping for a few more ears per stalk than that.
Sadly, yes. Its quite an intensive crop for what you get. If you're finite on space, I would think twice about planting corn every year. :-)
What type of corn is pop corn made from & can it be used as seeds to plant
I love your videos! I’m starting a complete vegetable garden inspired from seed in the deep country of Central Texas in core and corn country. Any suggestions on how to grow in an area that rarely gets shade?
21. Start with fresh corn seeds for the best results.
2. Directly sow seeds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart.
3. Cover with soil, space your rows of seeds 30 to 36
inches apart.
4. Water your block of corn well after planting.
5. Corn stalks are sturdy and should not need staking.
:-)
and the day before harvest the raccoons get it all!!! this year I will build a full cage around them a bit before harvest!!!
Nooooooooo!!! Happens more often than not unfortunately. :( Best of luck this year though!!!
Great video, many thanks. Can store bought corn used as seeds?
Thanks for the great vid! Will the plant produce corn again after the first harvest??
Was there ever a video two
I live in Costa Rica. Can i use this same method? Its 28C all year and 90-110% humidity. The climate is - Its a Jungle, Rainforest, Beach town.
Will adding high nitrogen fertilizer burn the plant?
What can I do for mold?
Hydrogen peroxide might help...but usually spacing and airflow is the answer.
My indoor starts are about 3" tall now and in a seed tray....I realize I can't move them outdoors for likely another month but am hoping to skip the intermediate step of transplanting them into something larger...just getting worried at how fast they will outgrow their current location!
VERY fast. That grow practically as fast as runner beans, they’re crazy.
A Victoria boy with a Oilers hat? Lol
Ha ha Sherry, well, it's not going to be a Canucks hat, that's for sure! ;-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Amen to that! Lol
@@sherry1867 LOL
Can I plant corn on top of where my lettuce, beets and lettuce are ?
Like where they are currently growing? If there's space.....Corn is pretty vigorous though....it may just take over.
Corn grows in clay just as good as super fertilized topsoil.
Question, when you plant 6 inches apart what is thinning to 12" mean? Killing every other seedling?
Yup.....if need be. The goal is the biggest, healthiest plants, 1 foot apart on all sides. Because you are direct seeding and there is ALWAYS a chance of one or more seeds not sprouting, you can either sow them multiple per spot, or 6 inches apart, thinning later. Either or. Its the trials of direct seeding unfortunately.
WHOOOOOO
Hey J!
My corn grows perfectly and then the rats tear it to bits .. Would be good to see a video on rat protection for corn . I'm in Adelaide Australia the rats will always be there .
Grasshoppers ate my pollen. Do you know how to stop them?
Wait, grasshoppers ate your tassels off your corn plants?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes! They sure did!
@@KerriEverlasting oh wow. Manual removal is probably best. Possibly netting could work.
Your soil likely is missing some nutrients, Texas Jan had a video this morning and towards the end of the video she explains it.
I have heard many times that well nourished plants don't get attacked by disease and insects. Same as people.
It is the modern day practices of agriculture, and the very depleted soils that require all those chemicals to bring up a decent crop. The common fertilizers only add 3 minerals. In varying proportions.
Our body requires 84 minerals and trace minerals for optimal health. Same number contained in pink Himalayan salt, at a ratio of 4% in that sodium, all those trace minerals.
Farm animals get a salt block for the same reason. Last time I was at a feed store in the country, those blocks locked dark red. Great source of trace minerals.
So are the plants that grow very deep roots. Dandilions, also a number of trees, that give us such abundance of leafes in the fall, to use in our gardens. Great resource. Same with wood ashes.
@@KerriEverlasting
Natural wood ashes, not of treated wood. I wood not at the ashes of any treated wood into any garden. 🪵🪵🪵
The bottom of my paper cup with watermellon in it started to rot, any tips?
Less water seems to be the key Antal. They rot when they are TOO wet. Immediate solution that I do is to pop that paper cup into another one, at least for the time being. :-)
Use styrofoam, not paper. Pinch a drainage hole so the cup drains well. I've used the same cups for 5 years. Plastic last only 2 years and cracks. End of the season, stack them in a tote. Super light to lift and store.
@@vidajordan9803 cheers Vida,, but these cups are getting planted as well. I'm not burying Styrofoam in my garden! Lol
Where did your facebook group disappear?? I cant find it
Cheers Pessy: facebook.com/groups/GrowingBetter
I’m convinced corn hates me 😆 I can grow about everything else BUT corn. Thankfully we live in an area where farmers pretty much give away sweet corn (they get free seed for buying their seed corn).
Definitely! Corn is one of those things like potatoes...you really need to weight the options of costs...because sometimes they are so cheap to buy!
I've been growing corn for decades. Extremely easy to grow. Just watch how the farmers do it. 10-12 nches apart in 30 inch wide rows. Fertilizer. Put additional nitrogen on. Sprinkle nitrogen along the rows like you salt food. Mix it in a little. May have to do it a couple times if it turns yellowish. Five rows 12 feet long makes a nice planting for good pollination. Make another planting about two weeks later and so on. 75-80 day corns are the best. Don't plant 65 day corn. It will tassel early at about knee high in high heat. You will get one 🌽 per stalk usually.
@@milkweed7678 ive tried EVERYTHING! nothing works for us
@@AbundantAcresHomesteadJust curious, what happens to it?
@@milkweed7678 if it grows it MIGHT get about 4 ft tall and get ears no bigger round than a fat candybar. had soil tested, added everything was told...tried old timer tricks...nothing. My grandpa joked thst corn was my favorite thats why I cant grow it lol
Why does no one show corn growing? I just want to see the stages of growth so i know where mine is at.
Probably because its a grass-like crop without any really defined stages. Other than tassels and silks forming, the crop looks the same throughout its entire life cycle.
Cornucopia....😂🤣😂that was awful, but it made me laugh!
Ha ha Sharon......sooooo bad! LOL.
Can I start muskmelons now, too?
Definitely Myla....same way too. I started mine in paper cups. Check my community tab, I'll post a pic there this afternoon!
Says six,plants three apart

You are welcome, a very good and detailed video.
Do you grow the 3 sisters system too ??
First corn, directly into the garden, 2 weeks later add climbing beans next to the corn, and any squash, which growing on the bottom shades the soil, preventing it from drying out in the hot sun. It is a traditional native way to grow food.
Hi
Howdy!

Too wet? Not enough airflow?
