Thank you for being such a 'down-to-earth' (literally) Southern gentleman and sharing your experiences and techniques with everyone!
Here it is 9 months later, Feb -13, 2021...after you posted this video, and I'm in N.E. Oklahoma waiting on the arrival of 3 to 10" of snow throughout the weekend.
Yet next weekend, it begins to get upwards into the high 50's, with about a five degree increase in the temperature every other day.
With that said, I'm enjoying a dual retirement along with 20 acres to begin my 'Dream Garden' on a 60' x 120' designated plot, and I will be following your professional suggestions,
along with the early childhood garden teachings from the days-gone-by' back in South Carolina.
I'm roaring and ready to go, brother.
I have to give you the thumbs up on scattering that compost. You did an excellent job on putting it down evenly. Good Job !
Haha. It wasn't our first rodeo.
Trav, a very good video as usual. Thanks for your transparency and candor. Your attitude of 'progress over perfection' inspires my husband and myself on a regular basis. Stay Healthy! Stay Safe!~All the Best, Leigh~
👍
@@gardeningwithhoss There is new life springing forth all around! \Yay/ Travis, we really appreciate your strategies in your Dream Garden. It's S0ooooo Awesome! Thanks for always finding a solution to every problem, rather than doing what some haters do which is finding a problem for every solution. *friendly LOL* Oh, Well! FORESIGHT: GOD is open to conversation, especially when one finds oneself outside and digging in the dirt. You can talk with HOLY SPIRIT about everything. JESUS will help us all get through this virus threat. You are not alone in this, 'Hoss Team.'~Blessings upon Blessings to y'all, Leigh~
Great tips and thanks for sharing. Take care and have a blessed day.
Thanks for watching
Great video. Good info. One of the 3 garden channels I watch every video. First backyard garden, in town, for me so my space is limited but I planted your temptress seeds with all seeds germinating. 2 weeks ago, and now 4-6inches tall. Planted 2 weeks after your peaches and cream seed which had about 80%germ rate. (We did have a blip of 90-95 degree days when I planted so I reseeded the blank spots a week after original and all is good) zone 9b mojave desert. Can't wait for the dewlictable and halo canary melon seed to arrive Friday. Seeds will be in the ground before Friday is over. Thank you again for great seed delivery and informative vids on the seeds you sell.
Let us know how you like the Halo Canary melon. We wanted to try that one this year, but missed the window a little bit.
Always good information on your videos
👍
You asked about successive planting, I put plastic down on early tilled soil, have access to slightly used greenhouse plastic, reason, it heats the soil sprouts weeds , solorizes and kills the tender weed starts, I got it in about 3 weeks earlier, then covered again till I saw the green shoots come thru, then I planted in blocks for pollinating, and every 3 weeks apart, did about 6 plantings, some falls it didn't mature the last batch, not often.
It gave me corn for the fruit stand, and always was short.
I didn't worry about cross pollination, as I didn't save seed.
That was in Canada in the farming days, now in AZ I grow mostly Hopi corn, and a eating corn, here our issue is about heat, about the time it's tassel time it gets to hot, thus the Hopi corn, more heat adapted, make lots of things with it, starting when milk stage we steam it like the Natives do, and dry it, as well harvest some a wrinkle stage, makes awesome corn meal.
It is just a hobby know but so much fun, here it isn't March yet and it's showing green, cover with frost cloth, did that today, as going down to just freezing, so we do our best. So much fun to have 2 gardening seasons.
Morgan County is great prices, shipping is aweful, I get my cover crop stuff from Outsidepride. They have the best prices, and don't gouge on shipping, look at their seeds, awesome selection too.
Thanks; as this is my first time growing collards . I had no idea they got that tall😀. Thanks Kim Crawford
If you keep them happy and keep them picked, they will!
I wish I could Taz like that in my garden!
One day at a Time sweet Jesus! 😊 ❤
I so wish I had room for corn.
I would definitely plant me some of that lol.
I love really sweet corn.
And btw, that micro boost I bought from ya'll well I side dressed my tomatoes with some triple 13 and gave them a healthy dose of micro boost.
Even with all the weird weather here they look really great.
We'll see in another month how they are doing but so far they are pretty.
Hugs
Good to hear the tomatoes are doing well! That MicroBoost works wonders!
I hear corn grow well in containers small spaces
Intercrop with Diakon, saleable and great drill for penetration. In Arizona we deal with caliche, mine isn't solid so it goes down well.
I have 3 varieties in the ground, all coming up nicely. Bloody Butcher Dent, Cherokee Gourdseed and Silver Queen Sweet. I'll be adding a 4th variety in succession soon... "Temptress" that I got from you all a couple of weeks ago. I am really looking forward to seeing how that turns out!!
Definitely tell us how you like it!
Hello, in mid state NY i plant 2 varieties of sweetcorn. Silver Queen, Kandy corn. Late maturing. I succession plant roughly every 2-3 weeks. Keeping wildlife out of gardens is biggest issue i have. Deer, Raccoon are culprits. I get a little cross pollination with both varieties planted next to eachother but not a issue..both are very sweet to eat. I side dress with organic nitrogen fertilizer and hill each row with tiller. We get windy thunderstorms that will flatten corn if not hilled.
Thanks for watching.
I am in South Carolina and received some sweet corn from friends in Nebraska last month. We don't have the size garden you have but we did plant 7 rows one foot apart, 20 feet long and put a seed every 8 inches in each row. I read several articles and tried to learn how to plant it before we planted it. We planted ours on April 29th so just about 3 weeks ago. It is doing great! We will be planting another 7 rows in about 3 more weeks. We will be staying with the same kind of sweet corn we received from Nebraska we were afraid of cross pollinating if that is even possible with corn, we are new at gardening and we were not sure. Your corn looks amazing!!! Happy Gardening. Any tips?
Sounds like you're well on your way to a great harvest!
on the farm the years we planted field corn we would plant the last 4 rows at the edge with sweet corn, these rows were 1/4 mile long. lol we always had plenty of sweet corn to can or freeze
That's a bunch of corn!
I always plant silver queen corn love it but I’m always up for trying a new kind I’m in South Carolina I have to use a lot of compost too and blood meal but corn doing good so far 😎
You should try one of the sweeter varieties. The longer storage ability is definitely a plus if you're not able to process it all at one time.
We just finished harvesting 400 ears is peaches and cream sweet corn.
Wow! Canning time!
Good corn, peaches and cream.
I have some of that in NC, not even close to ready yet. Where do you live.
Great video
thanks for watching
i LIVE IN KANSAS, AND WE HAVE (MY HUSBAND AND ME I LIVE ON 3.659 ACRES. I HAVE THE GARDEN IN THE BACK YARD ON THE EAST, THE FRONT IT FACING THE WEST SIDE. RIIGHT NO W YOU JUST PI;ULLED THE COLLARDS, YOU ARE SO DOING GREAT, KEEP IT UP AND KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING. TELL GREG I WATCH HIS VIDEOS. PLEASE STAY SAFE BYE1
Travis - you could attach a little manure spreader to that UTV and use it to spread your compost. I have one that attaches to my ATV with a trailer ball. I am definitely growing Avalon next year! I don't know how you take that heat. Good lord. It was 80 here the other day and I thought I'd die.
80 is nice. When it gets in the high 90s, that's when you have be careful because that bear will get you.
I’d like to get a Hoss Seeder one day. I have an EarthWay 1001-B seeder and it’s been good.
Them collards gave you a workout 😂 😂
been growing serendipity corn for 10 yrs does best for us
Next time you till, you planning on adding some gypsum and Vermiculite? I found that helped the hard clay here in Tennessee.
We have sprinkled gypsum on these plots from time to time. But at $20 a ton, this compost seems to be working pretty well.
@@gardeningwithhoss Wow, wish it cost only 20/ton here!
Two things, one do you move a hose from plot to plot, and two do you plant by the almanac.
Thank you for the videos.
We currently have ours in the ground with an on/off valve. No we do not plant by the almanac. Plant by last frost date for our zone.
That sure did drive home the difference some compost makes vs fertilizer..looks like next year I'm going to need a ton or so myself. I tilled a 30x66 2000ft or so garden this year..
Fertilizer helps, but you have to start with decent soil or else all the fertilizer in the world doesn't seem to make a big difference.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thanks that pepper patch sure is coming on good. Its a Sandy loam that's never been worked before so guess I'll do my best and side dress best I can..
I remember you saying in a prior video that when it comes to tilling, it is good to wait a week or two after having done so before planting as the soil will then be more compacted, and when it's more compacted you get better contact with the seeds which increases germination. Will watering in your compost help to do the same with less waiting between tilling and planting? Thank you for all that you do.
Yes, that would have the same effect.
Thank you!
For my sweet corn i like g90. It done great last year. I want to do a good canning corn this year, like what you would put in veggie soup. Not to cream. Can you reccommend a good one? Thanks
Jubilee would be a great one for that! hosstools.com/product/jubilee-sweet-corn/
What I started doing is to soak the seeds like a day or so until the size of the swollen kernel fits properly into my holes and seed plate then into the earth. What ya think?!
If it works for you, then go for it.
COOL time lapse video of you spreading compost... how's the shoulders?
Oh they're good. This wasn't my first rodeo. I've done that on all of my plots this year. This was just the last one.
Did you plant on top or just to one side of the drip tape? Would 6 inch drip spacing be better for corn? How deep do you place the tape for corn?
12 inch emitter spacing is the industry standard. I bury it 2-3 inches.
Curious would you plant corn in a plot after harvesting potatoes and if so any tips?
Sure. That would work great. Potatoes are not really heavy feeders, so following with corn would be good. Just make sure you remove all the potato plants so that you don't have any possible diseases left in the soil.
Hi Travis I from Central CA, zone 9. I have very sandy soil and so I do put in compost. Anything else that I should do before planting corn?
I would suggest composting heavily if you access to it.
Hey! Do you think leaf compost is sufficient to amend garden soil that was just a grass yard? Or would it be better to invest in a more expensive compost? I found a place with a great price for 20yds but I’m beginning to second guess my decision after talking to a place with more expensive and “guaranteed” compost.
Depends on what you can do. The "expensive" compost is likely to be much better, but do what works for your budget.
I live in MN...trying succession planting for first time. Planted 3 rows sweet corn 2 1/2 weeks ago, then planted 3 rows last Friday. What's the best method to hill sweet corn if I don't have the special hoe to get both sides at the same time?
Just a hard garden rake will do.
Can y'all talk about ideas of where and how to find bulk compost sources on the next Row By Row?
Seems like we answered that question on a previous show. Most compost makers are not online, so the best way to find them is word of mouth. If you have any cotton gins nearby, always good to check with them. Any chicken farmers or dairy farmers are other good options.
Clint- check craigslist for your area. Just search manure or compost in the for sale or community section. Most horse farms are giving horse manure away for free. Also, check livestock farms in your area. Many of them are overloaded with manure and are happy to get rid of it. Even if it is too fresh to use, you can compost it yourself and then use it. As far as professional compost, it is difficult to find. I found two suppliers in my area and it is not cheap. I paid over $40/yard for leaf-gro, which is a local compost. Great stuff, but not cheap. Don't use the free compost made at your local dump/municipal sanitation place. You have no idea what went into it.
@@valh9858 I can get plenty of chicken manure and make my own over time. What I'm looking for are ideas on finding ready to go compost by the ton.
I know it's been a while but the best compost for me in bulk was from my local nursery. Look for one that sales rocks mulch soil etc for commercial and retail use.
@@valh9858 Beware horse manure if not thoroughly composted. Used horse manure on a garden plot and ruined it with weeds, everthing from bermuda grass to crabgrass to pig weed to scattered coffee weed. I found out later that horses do not "process" seed in their digestive system like cows do, therefore the weed problem I'm still dealing with. Before the introduction of the horse manure there wasn't a pig weed or coffee weed on the place, let alone in the garden.
Hi, thank you for another great video. Really appreciate your sharing info with us all on here. I have a question about fertilizer injectors. You've mentioned a few times that you hook it to your drip tape. I'm curious which type of infuser you use. I've seen some smaller ones that just hook in the hose line, some that have a gallon bottle attached, and some that you can place the intake in a bucket. I'm new to drip tape, but all of them seem to have either overwhelmingly bad reviews, or absolute raving "best product ever made" reviews. I pilfered your videos for a while hoping to see what you use, as you clearly have success. I did see the little black inline container on your new line in this video, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to spot if that was a debris filter, or a fertilizer syphon. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks again!
This is the one we use: hosstools.com/product/ez-flo-fertilizer-injector/
It's really easy to use with any water-soluble fertilizer.
Got one in April and I believe it is the best one on the market!
@@farmerfloyd7696 I won't disagree. That thing does some work.
i need to git me one o them there compost sprinklers for my plot here in west tn
They can be hard to find.
I’m trying to catch up on your videos so maybe I missed it. I’d really like to see a video on marketing your crops. Wife and I are retiring in about three years. Really interested in supplementing our income. Just not sure I want to sit on the side of the highway in the heat every day.
We did do a couple episodes on our Row by Row show last year about my market farming operation, but will probably do more in the future.
Hi don't you have a problem with bud worms and corn ear worms with your late corn crops,and how do you avoid them or treat for them?
This stuff right here is the ticket for corn worms: hosstools.com/product/spinosad-garden-insect-spray/
Travis is this a Grillo tractor? If it is one you had it in 4th gear, looks great. I just purchased a new Grillo 107D, makes the garden prep easy.
It is a Grillo. But we just sped up the footage. We till in 1st gear and transport in 2nd. That top gear is too fast for anything
Hoss Tools LOL, I was having a tongue-in-cheek laughter with my comment. The 3rd gear will take off with you, that 4th gear will do 10 mph and I knew that you had sped up the video...enjoy your videos.
Haha. I think they use them as transportation in Europe. That's the only reason I can imagine for those higher gears.
What is the best corn to turn into a fine corn meal? Thank you.
Several good options, but Jimmy Red Corn (hosstools.com/product/jimmy-red-corn/) is highly-regarded as the best grinding corn by many culinary experts.
How did you keep the bugs off of the collards? Were they on drip tape as well? What month did you plant fall corn?
We use the product in the link below. Yes they were on drip tape. For the fall corn, look at the first frost date for your zone and subtract the days to maturity for the variety you are planting, plus a week or so for harvesting.
Mom used gypsum to loosen up clay soil. We have part loam and part clay, hard enough. Have you tried gypsum?
Yes we have
great video! can you give the comment about the mirai sweet corn that is well-know for its taste ?
It's good
Are those Loblolly pines around the garden areas ?
Slash.
Hi I have a question I planned green beans when will I know if there though and can I plant another round in Louisiana 8b
You might can, but I would do it soon.
Does adding gypsum cause the clay soil to loosen up some?
Yes, it certainly does!
Travis, where do you get your compost and how much does it cost. It looks like really good compost.
We get it from a local cotton gin. Pretty cheap at $18 a ton.
@@gardeningwithhoss is it made from the cotton seed or the hulls? Is it as good as it looks?
Made with the hulls. They call it gin trash. It's pretty good stuff!
I bought some incredible sweet corn variety that I have not planted as yet. Am form Jamaica and my agriculture field officer is say that not all variety does well here what your take on that because I really scared of loosing my money
You should be fine, I do not think you will have issues.
Is that the sweet corn that Greg said was not good, but ate all of it on Row by Row?
Haha. That was Honey Select, which is a yellow TripleSweet. It is really good too. But this is the first time we've grown this QuadSweet corn.
I have a spot I tillled up that stays kinda wet so I think I’m gona try to plant some sweet corn on it my dad told me to get silver queen ima look to see if y’all have it on the site or I might go with somthing else idk
You should try one of those TripleSweets. They germinate well and grow fast!
Hoss Tools I told my dad that and he wanted me to get the silver queen so I ordered it I’m gona plant 2 per hole I think. He told me to plant two per hole and let them both grow, do you think it will do well with two plants per hole? Iv been dumping compost dirt down my rows and tilling it in getting it ready so I hope that helps with my triple 8 and I’m gona do my research to see if I need to put my calcium nitrate on it!
Good video. My parsley bolted what do I do.
The Breez
That can happen when it gets warm. If it's in a permanent bed, you can leave it to reseed itself. If not, just pull it up and use what you can.
You don't compost the the stalks or feed to live stalk but burn them instead?
We don't own any livestock. And we don't make our own compost because it would be tough to turn and wet that much compost for the scale we require. So we put most plant debris in the burn pile.
I have been watching your videos . I wish I could get this variety of corn here in Nepal. If so what is the procedure ?
Unfortunately, we are unable to ship seeds internationally.
What brand of planter are you using ? It looks pretty heavy duty
The one Hoss developed
hosstools.com/product/hoss-garden-seeder/
I may have missed it in the video but is it open polinated or hybrid variety?
Temptress Sweet Corn has changed the sweet corn game with the introduction of a "quad sweet" variety. Temptress is a synergistic variety which means it includes a combinations of su, sh2 and se genes. As a result, it can be planted alongside other varieties without worry of cross-pollination. This bicolor sweet corn combines heirloom corn flavor with improved, modern-day sweetness. Temptress Sweet Corn is a quick-maturing variety with solid emergence in cool soils for early plantings. Plants produce 8" ears with a 2" diameter and excellent tip fill. It has a strong disease-resistance package and a tight husk to protect ears throughout development.
I bought this seed and planted a month ago and not one stalk of corn come up. Planted another patch about 100’ away of silver queen and it came up in 7 days and is doing great. Did I get bad seed? I was looking forward to trying the Temptress but pretty disappointed
We test our seed frequently and do not sell if they do not meet our standards for germination. We've learned though, to never say never. If you will contact customer service, we will send you some replacements.
Think I’ll order some for my follow up crop of current corn. It’s not to sweet though is it?
Like I mentioned in the video, it has all three kernel types on one ear. So it's sweet, but also has a great corn flavor.
Hoss Tools yea was just curious if it was overly sweet. I heard the part about it having more of the super sweet kernels. Thanks we will try it out.
👍
Hey bud I know ur busy but do u think I can use my hoss double wheel hoe to plant my sweet corn seeds up here in NW Indiana and it’s been wet
If you're wanting to use the wheel hoe to make a furrow for planting the corn, you can put a single cultivator tooth on there and make a nice, shallow planting furrow.
Hoss Tools thanks man big help still waiting to get the corn in lol
HOSS TOOLS - I was at your website yesterday and it worked fine. But tonight, I can't get some of the pages to load --- wanted to buy that corn and show my husband some tools. The short handle tool page would not load an neither would the individual seed pages. ... No need to answer me. I will keep trying. Just wanted you to know in case it was NOT just me.
C. Brown I am having no trouble with the website loading. Just FYI.
@@barrydarnell9748 It seemed only to be some of the pages. The website itself an the first two levels of pages.... But, ok. I'll keep trying then. Maybe another browser. Glad all is working!!
@@barrydarnell9748 Tried Safari and Mozilla. Both load the top-level website pages. I cam click 'GAREN TOOLS' to see the menu. If I click 'LONG HANDLE TOOLS' that page loads normally. If I choose 'SHORT HANDLE TOOLS' I get a ' Forbidden' message and a white page that says the page can't be accessed. It did the same thing when I tried to get the corn. I could load the menu for seeds. I could choose CORN (SWEET), I found that variety, but when I chose it, the page gave the same message. .... Its no hardship for me. Just trying to help you!
Best regards, cb
@@barrydarnell9748 Maybe it is me. I got the same forbidden page when I clicked the corn link under this video too. Tho the other links all worked. ... So if that works for you, then ok.

can you save the seed from temptress and regrow the same corn the next year?
no since it is a hybrid
Do you know if its possible to make a bicolor corn out of Golden bantam heirloom and Hayes white sweet corn if you plant them in the same row like one seed Golden Bantam and then your next seed Hayes white sweet corn and keep doing that all the way down the row?
Where do you get your compost

Why burn pile, I chop the stock of ground level, let the worms feed on the roots, aereates the soil, moisten can go down too, our chickens are the burn pile, they recycle nicely.
its damn hot in tx
Do you ever plant field corn? I remember when my father in law would plant in north Florida panhandle in Altha FL and was so different from sweet corn which is great but I prefer field corn. We don’t have the space to grow corn but have planted for the first time an Urban Garden just because of the time we ate in with this virus thinking food is going to be scarce. We can’t grow grass at our home so garden it is. I am interested in purchasing corn a 100 to 200 ears at a time to put in freezer. Any suggestions? You can private email me or send me the link so I can private message you on Facebook. I just need a good corn person. I love your CZcams channel and your Row by Row. Very informative and take your and fathers advice.thank you!!!!
We do. Greg has a plot of Hickory King that is almost head-high in his garden right now.
Hoss Tools how can I call or text Facebook private to you or Greg
Hoss Tools how do I contact Greg?
You can send an email to custserv@hosstools.com.
Hoss Tools I am wanting field corn when ready to harvest. I know there is a small window as it will harden very fast. I would like 200 ears at a time as I am 60 years old and don’t move as fast anymore.
When do you think it will be ready and how do I meet you to pickup? I don’t even know if you come into the panhandle area of Florida or what part of Georgia you are located. I would purchase different types of corn for canning from you. I love your channel and rot by row.
Wonderful and very informative

Trying to get on your site to order corn and some beans but the site won’t let me. It will let me go to the seeds but no further.
Try clearing your cookies and history. That usually solves any issues.
I plant 4 times every 3 weeks in 6b starting 5/1 end by fourth of July. planting after that gets eaten by bugs. usually 4 different kinds, early bicolor, late bicolor, yellow, and a white and all separated quite a bit by distance. Doesn't triple sweet NOT need to be isolated? Quad? if I do popcorn it takes one of these slots. weather blocked 5/1 plant so only getting 3 this year.
Correct. TripleSweet doesn't need to be isolated. Same thing with the QuadSweet as it contains all three kernel types.
@@gardeningwithhoss I just received the Temptress corn seeds from you today, and my question is I grow Sliver King (se) every year and want to try the Temptress as well. The description say I dont need to isolate another variety (Silver King) due to the Temptress being a quad-sweet. Is this accurate?
What is the name of those collards?
