How to Grow Sweet Corn (2024) #20 

So grateful to you!

Perfect timing! My corn seedlings are ready to go out this weekend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. ❤ enjoy the Memorial Weekend 🇺🇸

I'm watching from fiji island

Thanks Susan. I planted corn in my garden for the first time. Can’t hardly wait to harvest!

Interesting about seed development. A cup & saucer vine instructions said to have the seed upright and just above the soil. Never seen instructions like that before, but it worked. Seeds can be so fickle. I had calendula that had only 4 pop up and then I set the pot outside. I didn’t pay much attention and about a month later a dozen more popped up 😅. Have no idea what went on but that was a long time. We planted corn and 2 rows, but 3 seeds per hole. I think they should pollinate just fine. I remember as a kid that’s how we planted corn. The section near to this row should have been tilled and then the block could have been planted, but we must have been too busy at the time. Lol, it’s tilled now and a second planting is coming up. It’s dreary rainy day so I’m watching vids. I see you had cold weather. At least your brassicas should love it. I had state fair Bok Choy and a 7+ lb Napa Cabbage!!🎉🎉 and then the heat came and instantly the Bok Choy wanted to bolt. There really isn’t enough time to succession crop some vegetables in our area and I started these under low tunnel mid April. It’s been a sauna in Z5a, WI and mosquitoes! Thankfully the drought broke but now other problems arise. This weather has brought about rust on hollyhocks which I never remembered having before as a friend just brought this problem up that she has in NJ. I ripped up most of the poppies as they were way too thick to let air in and cut off all rust leaves. I think it’s time to talk about fungus problems for many of us finally getting rain and the hot/humid days and nights. Thanks Susan! Always enjoy your channel.

I’ve never tried growing corn in my raised beds. The last time I grew it we had a terrible storm and the corn was laying flat. I quit trying to grown it then. You are tempting me to try again.

Thank you for all the information. I don't have room for corn but nice to know.

I had rabbits and used their manure to fertilize. Never had better corn.

Hi Susan, thanks for this video, very helpful. Wondering what the watering needs are? I see you have drip set up, what’s your watering schedule like?

Hello Susan, thank you for your tips! Please could you tell me if there is any insects or pests that we need to be aware when plant corn and how to manage it? I am in Michigan zone 6

Excellent tutorial. Very thorough. Thank you Susan! I wonder if the Florida weave would help support the corn from wind effects.

Hi Susan from Newfoundland, Canada. I thoroughly enjoyed your video but I have a question. I always thought u would start seeds off in the dark under a heat mat and then after germination u then would place them under grow lights. Interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

How many cobs does each plant produce? Only one? And how do you harvest them? Thanks, Susan!

ah, the seed isn't going to move itself. in my experience I learned why corn fields In Iowa have no trees! Had fun trying!

Where did you purchase the dibber?
