Thank you for sharing. That boot scootin’ covering could take the nation by storm.😂

I don’t see any rocks, nice garden spot, by the way ,where is your supervisor. Lol Everything looks so pretty and green, How about a live, it’s been a long time. That planter will save your back, even Finn can use that. Take care of that thump and God bless.

Going to be some good eating :-) We always planted Silver Queen when mom and dad had a big garden. I see a bandaged up thumb , I hope its not too serious , Take care of those picking fingers .

That corn planter is how my pap used to plant corn .Everytime I get on here I get homesick ! Y’all be blessed and favored 🙏🏽💖

@cheryllamb8831 3 года назад

Covering your corn that way sure looks easier on your back than hoeing. Growing your corn, beans, & pumpkins/squash like that is how the Native Americans grew them too. Jared, seems like the old ways are better, and since I'm new to gardening I appreciate learning from you. Thank you. Blessings 🕊🙏

Great video! Thanks for demonstrating your antique corn planter and your rubber boot fancy footwork! We watch and enjoy all of your videos. Have a blessed day. 😁

@stellacrowe3813 3 года назад

Planting corn and beans together sounds crazy , but it works add squash and you have the three sisters method. Your gonna have some good eats. My mom and grandma use to put up cream corn and I could eat it till the cows come home. Blessings to you and yours ❤

@shereew214 3 года назад

What I want to know is did you catch any fish before you smashed that thumb? You’re gonna have some good eating in a few months.

@FlutyLickHomestead 3 года назад

Caught a few crappie!

We had a light frost on Thursday night. I’m counting on that being the last one. I planted a little over half my garden on Saturday, got a nice rain on Sunday. We planted peaches and cream corn, I love that stuff, got in about 150 seeds. I liked seeing the corn planter never saw one in use. thanks enjoying the videos.

It's all in the feel of it, just like cooking or baking. If you make or do something often enough you get a feel of it. I really enjoy you showing us these old tools and how you plant your garden. So many great tips! Thanks! God bless!

@1957jmhiser1 3 года назад

We love you too. Early records show Native Americans planted a lit like you do, corn, squash beans together, but they did individual mounds. The beans give nitrogen to the corn

@glenq4126 4 месяца назад

@bertieyearout2690 3 года назад

Wow, haven't seen a corn seeder since I was a kid many many years ago. I grew to dread going into the corn field when it was high because I seemed to come up against a pack saddle every dang year. 😆 TFS

@bldshteyes 3 года назад

Me and my grandfather couldn't get corn to grow in his garden anymore, years ago he had 3 rows at 40' long we give up on corn 10 years ago. Now it's down to basics, potatoes, greeny beans, cabbage onions , okra and maters

@bldshteyes 3 года назад

Forgot to mention that my pa passed 2 yrs ago. His garden when I was a youngin was 40x95 foot. It fed us and 1/2 the neighborhood. God Bless you and Flutylick Mountain

@tractorboy4148 3 года назад

maybe he should have put 6 rows at 20 feet they might pollinate better idk maybe not.

@bldshteyes 3 года назад

@@tractorboy4148 yeh he tried that we just believed that the soil wasn't uo to par, like tomatoes every other year we would move then cause they remove a lot if the nutrients from the soil around them. And he would plant them near corn kinda like the 3 sisters corn green beans and squash. But with mayors near them. He grew them for 15 years my younger life and after that they wouldn't grow good anymore. He tried just about everything. And the fact that he had no teeth he just paid for canned corn . Lol it was something to sit and eat and hed pull a tooth out. It was called Copenhagen all his life, he was the only man I know that would out in a chew and lay down and sleep all night. I always would snicker at him when hed wake up coughing cause hed swallered some. Some of my best days in life were along side him. That man did something my father wouldn't do and that's take me in an raise me. Sorry didnt mean to ramble I loved that man. Union Pacific RR 38 yrs

I gave up planting sweet corn. The coons would clean me out the day before I was ready to pick every year. Seems like they would bring the whole family to the party.

That is the way I plant corn..both by hand and with a planter..I put four grains per hill then thin after they come up..I make a circle around each hill with a small amount of fertilizer . . We both should have the same results . ..

like my papaw always said poor folks have poor ways, still getting it done.

@tkn1715 Год назад

I don't suppose you might make some of those corn planters? I've been researching seeding while standing, old back, and yours looks like the best I've seen, maybe could be a little taller.....

@tkn1715 Год назад

Jared, can you explain more about the timing of planting the beans (what kind) and sqaush or pumpkins in amongst your corn. I tried it once with planting purple hull peas next to the stalks before hilling. While the peas grew, oh, I hill my corn when its 12 inches, maybe shaded them, they didn't climb the stalks or take off producing. They were still alive when my corn G90 was harvested so I cut the stalks off and had a crop of purple hulls before winter. I need your varieties and timing of the planting please...I don't know your climate, but I'm 7b so I'm hoping its similar. Thanks
