Love love love the amaranth in the background. My grammy was the person who brought amaranth to Boise, Idaho and it holds a very special place in my heart ❤️
I used to give my children cold, fresh, corn on the cob when they were teething (JUST the cob at 1st) as babies. They STILL love raw corn. It's so SWEET!😋
@Grass2Farm idk if it's a thing or not, tbh! I literally just discovered it in desperation one day. Before they could handle solids, I just cut the kernels off and gave them the cold cob of it and as they progressed, so did the amount of corn I'd leave on. It was GREAT, CHEAP, DISPOSABLE and always a tip i love sharing🥰🖤
Can you make a video about how you store your harvest and what you do with them? I love gardening I just don't know what to do with everything I grow once the winter hits
Not OP but: depending on what you're preserving, bottling (canning) is a great method for preserving leftover crops, and dehydrating can be very useful as well. Fermentation/pickling can be a bit more tricky but also gives the produce new flavor. Good luck with your yield!
New subbie. I love fennel and just learned about using the seed pods in cooking. Apparently, the taste mellows as it cooks. I'm in Virginia, and for the 2nd summer in a row, our weather was in the hi 90s and 100s literally cooking the fruit, especially tomatoes, even the cherries, but while every variety boiled on the vine while still green. The squash plants stopped producing. I'm hoping my cool weather plants will do better. I don't know how far up north you are, or even if you like them, but parsnips is one of our favorites. Plant the seeds straight into the soil and let them stay in the ground all winter until spring. It needs that time to develope the sugars. I was told do the same for carrots. Lastly, a suggestion, because food costs are so high, if you have any excess produce, perhaps share it with any Sr. Citizens you know, unless you're pals like with bill gates, etc. I worked at an agency which covers that demographic. They are barely able to pay basic housing costs at the expense of their food budget. It's heart breaking, and I heard it over and over, across all demographics. Many eat only once a day and still run out of money and food before the end of the month. Sorry for the long babbling on, but your garden is gorgeous and I am .. pea green ... with envy. If you know any other gardeners, maybe pass on about their excess. Happy growing, God bless, Patricia
Heres my suggestion for you to grow bell peppers, sweet pepper, thyme, rosemerry, sweet basil, yellow corn, cherry tomatoes, spearmint, peppermint, lemon mint, chocolatemint, roma tomatoes mint has culinary uses it can be used in medicanl to food and beverages
💯💯 corn straight off the plant is the best!! It's better when it's between midday and 3-4ish, the corn is warm and tastes like it already has butter on it 🤤🤤🤤
Corn is something I’d love to grow in the future when we have a bit more land. Thanks for sharing this. I was always under the assumption that corn was a difficult crop to grow, but maybe it’s easier than I thought. As with anything in the garden, I’m sure there’s challenges but maybe not as many as some make there out to be with this crop. Do you have any tips on how to successful grow corn? 🌽 There are so many mixed answers across the internet. Sometimes it can be quite confusing 🫤
@JuliaMoriah I have watched Asians grow corn+other veges in the gaps of cobblestone, so anything is possible. If you are having trouble growing, it might not be you.. it could be the health of the soil. I found corn is a fibrous root system, which means you don't need a deep soil bed for it to grow. Sunny spot, low in wind, easy drain soil (they don't like clay soil) and watering in the morning before heavy sun hits it, you should be fine. They grow better with companion plants. Plants absorb nutrients from the soil but also give back to the soil.. so you find corn, beans, and squash are the holy trinity of companion planting. You can have 1 of each grow nicely in a space 2-3ft². They don't mind their roots tangling together, and you get 3 different types of veges in a small place. I suggest just giving it a go 😊👍 I live in New Zealand, and our environment may be different from where you are. Would be a good thing to find a youtuber who is in your area. Spicy Moustache is based in England, and he shows how to grow in small spaces. Eric is based in the hotter climates of America. Self-sufficient Me is from Australia. If you search 'homestead gardens' most of them are in climates where it snows and show how to do seasonal growing... we have been blessed with Internet to find information our ancestors would've loved to have ❤️ I hope this wasn't too overwhelming 😅 and answered a bit of what you wanted 🥰
@@JuliaMoriahI grew corn for the first time this season and it was so easy!! I grew Solstice from Johnnys seed co and it was only a 68 day early super sweet corn!! I planted a seed every 6” offset and had almost 100% germination!! I planted in a 4’ x 16’ raised bed with drip tape irrigation. The only thing we had to do was some rope around the tall stalks to keep the wind from blowing them over but it was wonderful and the taste!! I fertilized them one time about half way thru but that was it!! They taste amazing and they are so sweet!!
Start doing more about the crows maybe make something for them to land on and put their items in for you. They can just land and give and go. Oh I forgot and eat.😊
Im so glad to see someone elses tomatoes looking not so appealing 😅. Mine look the same and i was so worried it was something i did wrong. I asked my apartment manager about hers when she mentioned she grows them and hers are the same too!! We are in michigan but i wonder if it was just a weird crop this year that got spread around. Ive never personally experienced it this bad. Maybe with one plant but ALL of mine look this bad. Made me regret triming them at the beginning of the season because they ended up looking so many leaves anyways, i could have saved myself the time 😂😂😂
Yea we’ve been having good luck with the peppers this year as well. Cucumbers not so much, cabbage/lettuce not so much either. I’m in climate zone 8. I think they bumped it up to zone 9 this year
Iv found you can eat the tops of the unfinished corn kernels like baby corn in a salad. I typically just munch it off while im eating my corn on the cob lol obviously it depends on how long the section is though. If its not much thats unfinished itll be too hard to chew
I know a lot of people ask me as a garden guy. What at what point do I stop with the tomatoes and I tell them as long as the tomatoes are turning red like water the plants and take care of the plants as soon as the plants starts getting really bad then I let it kind of diet a slow death, but I keep it
This is going to sound stupid but get a 1/2” x 4’ or 6’ wood dowel and staple some popsicle sticks to it at your corn spacing. Insert that into a cordless drill and put it between your corn rows and spin it, hitting the corn stalks. This is a modified hand pollination that I made and it worked fairly well. Didn’t compare it to non hand pollinated though so it could’ve not had an effect at all. I think I’ll modify it next season with a bunch of zip ties instead of popsicle sticks so I don’t have to be as precise hitting the rows. And it won’t beat up the corn as much.
Sometimes after a 10hr day you come home to find squirrels have eaten one row of kernels out of each ear of corn on your 100 stalks that were beautiful when you watered before work. 😊
My garden has been struggling this year, especially the peppers. I don't know anybody who's gotten good peppers this year where I live. We've been in a drought the last two years, but this year it's as though we're getting 3 years' worth of rain in one! I appreciated all the free watering at first, but my plants didn't get any kind of consistent sunshine for like a month after I transplanted them, maybe longer? And now we're getting close to the end of the season, so I don't think things are going to catch up
ok, everybody's asking about the wood drying rack.. did you make it or where did you buy it. that looks like a really nice rack. yeah roma paste tomatos not so good this year here either.. ps - spill the goods on that rack 😁 please... thanks
Hey I tried to grow cucumbers but always get yellow and leave it in a small pot should I replant them in a bigger pot and leave it in the sun or shade and sun?
I had one experimental corn plant with 1 ear of corn. I saw this and harvested because the top silks were brown. It was not ready at all and now I’m really bummed
None of my corn really developed kernels despite hand pollination. They appeared a good size. Oh well. I actually got a three cobs appearing to grow from the same section.
