We have a TON of birds, and somehow earlier in the season they dropped some corn into a bed with all of our roses and basil, and that one stalk is HUGE, we got two ears so far with only a few different kernels being pollinated in each as there is only One (1) plant in our entire yard, the dog also LOVES trying to eat the silks

I'm growing my 1st corn - Cherokee or Glass Gem Corn in a large container. I was told to use 7-10 drops of mineral oil where tassel connects to corn. Close up with rubber band so no more larvae can enter. This suffocates worms. Or use Spinosad spraying tassels and silks every 3-4 data until harvest.

When I was a kid and we had corn in the family garden, like almost every ear of corn had a corn worm and/or some undeveloped kernels at the top. The top got the chop and went to the compost pile. I suspect we didn't grow enough corn at a time and we grew it in rows, like pretty much the rest of our garden.

You must have been reading my mind we re at the point now where we re ready to pick some of ours and have and it was great. But most of the cobs are very small and maybe have half of the cob with kernels. Is it too late to fertilize or is it ok this late in the season?

The leafs of corn is designed to collect the pollen and funnel it to the female parts.
Also I got to many earwigs and I live next to a couple farms what do I do to get rid of them I've killed hundreds with my hands.

I have always considered corn one of those monocrops I d never grow in my own yard. I ve read that it s not a particularly healthy vegetable, but I wonder how much that nutritional value changes with organic home growing.

Unless I m missing something, corn being a grass doesn t preclude it from being a grain- wheat, barley, oats, rye, and rice are all grasses and grains. I m not an expert, but I think corn is as well

Thanks for another great video
My corn is lacking nitrogen this year and quite stunted. I ve got a big load of home made compost for next year which should make a big difference!

I had a corn plant volunteer itself in my garden one year. I hand pollinated it and got good results. I broke off some of the pollen stems and brushed/ tapped them over the silks.

Corn is one of those things. if it weren't for human intervention is would have been exinct a long time ago. What a ridiculous reproductive cycle!

I accidentally planted two different varieties together, cross pollination can cause the sweetcorn to be tough or even inedible
