I’ve grown sweet corn in containers this year and had a really good crop 5gallon containers 3 seeds per container 5 containers over 30 ears of corn. All had two ears and two had three 👍
That is exactly what I have currently, 5 gallon containers 3 corn corn per container and so far we're doing great ! And all of this is on my 2nd floor apartment balcony ! I'm sure my neighbors think I've lost my mind, oh well, It brings joy to my life.
@@Proudchristian1975 I wanted to plant corn on my balcony but I don’t think I get enough sun. Maybe 4 hours max. Good luck and may your harvest be bountiful
I planted corn for the 1st time last year. Planted 4 into a half wine barrel. I fed my corn bloodmeal when it was about 18”, then once more when I saw silk. Every stalk had several ears and they were all perfect. I sprayed Neem oil on the silks at the beginning and had no worms. Growing corn is a lot easier than I thought and tastes SO much better than any store bought. 🙂
@@GrowfullywithJenna I will be growing 3-4 times as much this season, ran out before the end of summer.…want to freeze some so I can have it all year 😁
This year, I grew corn in a 20 gallon grow bag for the first time, and it has been amazing. All th18 seeds germinated and my cats ate half, finding them absolutely irresistible. Of the remaining 9, 8 grew to 7 feet and sprouted ears and tassels. A couple have more than one ear, which I did not expect. Thanks for explaining how to know when to harvest. I didn't have a clue!
So glad I found you. NEW subscriber from SC. Ordered my seeds, gurney fertilizer and 20 gal pots. Can't wait to get my seedlings start and get to planting. You are wonderful and very informative for newbies like me. So excited to add this to my small garden
Thank you so much for the kind word and support, I truly appreciate it. I'm glad you're excited to add some corn in containers to your garden this year. Best wishes for a delicious corn harvest! Take care & have a wonderful evening!
Thank you Jenna. After seeing your video I am headed to nursery to buy corn seeds. I always thought you need a large field to grow corn, but now I learned that 3 or 4 dozens of plant can be planted in a space of 1 tree.
I just received my corn seed today from Gurney, gotta have it is the name of this corn seed. I have a ton of 5 gallon growing bags but I think that I will get a couple of 20 gallon and someone suggested using a kiddie pool. That sounds like a good idea as well. I am 75 years young so planting in the ground, for me is very difficult so I will do it like this! I hope tomorrow morning it's a good day for gardening. Carol
As all we gardeners do, I am really getting into this growing season while already starting to think about next year's garden. I grow potatoes in a raised bed, but am considering trying grow bags for next year to free up raised bed space. I have been intrigued with the idea of growing corn in containers and you explained it so well, it may have moved up my "consideration list." Thanks. (I am a new subscriber to your channel.)
I know exactly what you mean, Ed! It's so easy to start dreaming of everything you'll add, change and try the coming season... I think it's the sign of a great gardener 😁. I'm glad to hear you might try container corn and I appreciate the support! Take care!
Jenna; I just started growing corn this year after watching your CZcams channel... Awesome video and straight to the point...I will send pics of the corn when they come up and I hope I can be able to text you if I have any questions or problems about the corn and thank you so much for everything 😎✌️.... Jacksonville Florida...
I just brought 12 10gal grow bags for my sweet corn...I know you said nothing smaller but that's what I have right now. So we'll see🌽🌱 Great video. Thank you
I'm so glad to hear you're growing corn for the first time, Angela. And I'm glad that you can use ths tips in this video. Best wishes for a fantastic corn harvest this year!
I live in Dallas Georgia and i plan to grow corn and other crops in containers for the first time. Eventually im goingto have a land a landscaped terraced garden built in my backyard. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am currently growing dwarf corn in a container. This is my first time growing corn and I'm loving watching the it change day by day. Right now it is at the silk stage on one of them. It is so exciting! Thanks for the informative video!

I grew some container corn last year as an experiment. It was going well until I slacked on watering. You're spot on with your advice, very informative video!
And oh, do they suck up the water!! Especially later in the season. Do you think you might try it again sometime? I'm glad you found the video informative!
Hi!! We're in Southern Coastal South Australia. I think we'll try containers next year. We only had 4 plants this year and the ears were delicious!! Thanks for your tips!!
I use grow 5 gal (about 28litres) bags. I live in tropics Darwin. Good to see I can still use bags smaller than yours. That mushroom compost is super good. Great video.
I am planning to grow corn this year for the first time. I will be using 30 gallon grow bag. I am very excited. Your video was very informative. Thanks so much
Hooray! I'm glad you're giving corn a try this year, Odella! I'm also glad you found the video informative. You are most welcome, and best wishes for a wonderful corn harvest!
Use to grow fields of corn back in my younger days. Awesome tips ya gave here Mrs. Jenna! That ear was shonuff ready to be eaten. Stay safe my friend and have a wonderful week!
Had no idea you could do this til a friend told me about someone doing it. Now see you doing it. Maybe someday I will try after I get better at the things I’m trying now. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome Sara! I hope you do give it a try- it's a lot of fun, and a great option if you don't have the room for a big corn planting. Hope you have a great week!
My first time planting corn! I couldn’t find mushroom compost. Took your advice and went with the best manure compost I could find. I planted in 3 20 gallon containers. Keeping my fingers crossed! Adele Long Island, NY
Where can u buy compost? This is my first time planting a garden like ever in my life. Lol. So I'm basically beginner status and I've been hesitant to start the sweet corn because I have no clue how to be successful at it. So far I'm doing well with tomatoes cucumbers radishes beets watermelon cantaloupe and strawberry I had one hiccup with clover mites they destroyed my best looking tomatoes and cucumbers but I've got it back under control. But anyway where can I find compost at?
@@elijahisrael86My NY corn is growing proudly along the canal I live on! The boaters are in awe of my 3 25 gallon containers holding 5 stalks a piece standing 6 feet tall! They look beautiful! They’re not exactly ready to eat yet. But I did cheat and pull an ear out…it was good!
Love that I found your video. In Central Washington we have good healthy winds in the spring/early summer and I use corn for a wind screen/Morning Glory climbing pole. I’m going to grow as you directed and look for a crop as well.
I love that you found my video too! What a great way to utilize corn, and how lovely it must be with the morning glories climbing the corn stalks-- I may have to try that this year! Thanks for watching & have a wonderful evening!
Thank you for making this video! We juat have not had the time to get our soil ready for corn this year so I'm going to give grow bag corn a try now that I know it will work!
I’m growing sweetcorn in containers again this year, I only do about 12 plants over 2 containers but will try your closer bunching method next year, happy planting
I plan to grow sweet corn for the very first time this year. To grow them in containers seems to me like a good choice, and I think I will try that if I can find suitable containers 🌽 😊🌽 Thanks for the information!
I have 7 sweet corn plants planted in a HUGE planter out on my patio. They are about 6” tall now and also are sort of pale looking so I’ll get some fertilizer for them. Thank you for the info ♥️
Finally got a place I can plant in the ground ...never going to use pots again. Now I’m growing in hard clay soils and regenerating the soil with organic matter and proper microbiology - took awhile but I finally have fungus growing in my soil, and keeping the ground covered with a decomposing layer of compost and mulch continues to feed to soil microorganisms.
I'm glad to hear that you've finally got a place to plant in-ground. That's awesome, John! I have to say, I definitely prefer in-ground to pots, but they are handy in certain circumstances- particularly when you run out of room or live in a place where you can't put a garden in. Best wishes in your journey to improve your soil & happy gardening!
Yes I plan on planting container corn . Love the planter bags . Thanks , I'm getting some bags like that . watering tips appreciated , thanks man . OOPS , thanks woman .
I will be trying corn again. It is one of my favorites to eat. I am going to move my "pots" to see if I can get better sun coverage. And I see many are using a fish fertilizer and I think I will add to the plants. Also I planted early indoors and sprouted under a grow light and then transplanted. I am going to just plant in the pots outside next year. Thanks for your tips and instructions they are not only helpful but enjoyable to watch.
Jenna, this is awesome! I’m expanding my crops this year in my raised bed area. I have lots of containers to fill and never thought corn was a possibility. Obviously it is so I’ll give it a shot this year, thanks. I’m in CT so not sure when to start the seeds. You mentioned gurneys…I ordered potatoes and giant kohlrabi from them this year so I’m looking forward to that too. Happy gardening!
Good evening, I came across your channel and took a look at it. I am very impressed to say the least. My wife and I eat a lot of sweet corn so am going to do what you say. Thank you for posting this video, I have just subscribed to you.
I was considering growing some in pots year round indoors under grow lights, doing a few every month so they are continually ready for harvest. I have read you need 25 plants per person for a year and if you can grow them every money, that's 2 to 3 plants per month per person. Since they will have constant water at the base, and I will make sure the pollen gets to the silk, I am hoping to have a nice harvest all year.
Hi Terry! I'm glad you found it useful. You're right-- many of the same things that work for me, will do well for you too. Take care & have a wonderful week!
I should have watched this before i planted my corn. I have one in a 5 gallon and one in a 10 gallon. They're a little over a foot tall and it's been a month. They're beautiful tho. Now i know for next time, to go bigger pots and more plants!
Going to try first time corn in containers. Plus starting late July, zone 6, Willliamsport, PA. PLANT with my grandson, now 6. This year first year not successful with everything. We had extreme heat June and July. Tomatoes stay green, cucumbers just not producing, peppers and green beans good but nothing else. He is so sad, going to try new with corn. Thanks for tips.
I hope it goes well for you, Ken! It's definitely been a rough year for gardening in many areas of the country. I'm sorry to hear that your grandson is sad... I hope things start perking up a bit in the garden! Best wishes!
Ok 1 2 3 here I go planting in zone 9 right now. It's will be 109 110 & 105 the rest of the week. Perfect for seed germination ( or fried kernels) Lol! Wish me luck & thanks for the video
Tyfs!😁💯❤ you helped me a lot! I planted 2-15 gal grow bags dbl seeded 6 per bag. Forgot to prune back both seeds grew lol! Just picked 3 ears yay! Several still growing waiting on silks to dry. Zone 5-6 late start😁 Definitely will grow more next season!
Love this video Jenna. Thank you. I have a small garden and always wanted to grow corn but couldn't figure out how. I will grow corn this season thanks to this video.
I've done Corn in the soil here in Richmond, VA. Every year, the darn cutworms get to it. I've tried every organic, natural, method to prevent this. Next year I'll try containers, and maybe some netting, to see what happens. Netting and grow bag helped my pumpkins survive the first wave of vine borers. Sadly, by the second wave the vines were just to long to keep covered. But at least I got a couple of pumpkins out of it.
Sorry to hear this, Jacob, that's very frustrating! It seems like containers + netting would be a good solution and I'd be very interested to hear how this goes for you. Squash vine borers got almost all of my pumpkins & winter squash this year as well. I'm searching for viable, natural methods to prevent this next year. I have the same problem as you- once the vines get so big, it's just not practical to keep them covered any longer and the borers inevitably get to them. Best of luck!
Great content. I tried corn last year with little success. This year I’m gonna try this exact method in the grow bags. Thanks for the guidance. Keep up the great work.
You are most welcome, Pansy! I'm glad you pointed that out- grouping them together like this helps to further increase the chances of proper pollination, so I always try to position them this way. Take care!
We live on a small farm near Delaware Ohio and I'm always looking for extra places to plant some sweet corn, Thank You on this one!! I have no problem on growing it PLUS i have no problem on telling when its ready, just about the time its close, the Raccoons enter into the PROGRAM and take a bite out of just about every ear in the patch, A hot wire will be added to the S Corn patch this year!!
Hi Mia! Oh, those raccoons are too darn smart for their own good! They KNOW when the sweet corn is ready and they sure do love it! I hope that hot wire does the trick for you this year. Best wishes for a wonderful corn harvest & take care.
Awesome, this year is first time I’ve tried to grow anything and do to work I didn’t have time to make raised beds so I bought a bunch of Grow bags and I planted everything in 10,20 and 100 Gal bags. And everything was growing so good that I decided to do some more bags so I planted corn in a 20 Gal. bag and planted 6 with 2 or 3 kernels in each hole on July 6th. I no it’s late but I figured what the heck I no nothing about gardening but things are happening so I just went for it and they are all 3 or 4 inches all ready. And today I found your Chanel and to my surprise I did almost what you did with corn in bag but I don’t no anything about the fertilizer I just bought the Natures Care Organic raised bed soil at HD and I’m pumped. My peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers lettuce potatoes are doing great just hope my corn does the same, I will def check on the fertilize do you have a certain brand you use. Sorry for the run on I’m just excited things are growing and I found your video on corn and pumped I did it right. You have a happy new subscriber!
This is awesome! I'm so happy to hear that your garden is doing great... that is so exciting! I use Garden's Alive or Gurney's brand all-natural fertilizer which I order online, but Jobe's is similar and available at some retail locations. I'd love to hear an update on how everything produces for you- and I appreciate you subscribing! Best wishes for a fantastic harvest!
Putting beans in beside corn helps both. The beans give the corn the nitrogen they need and the corn gives the beans something to climb up. Companion growing.
That is certainly a great option! It is important for folks to keep in mind that beans won't fulfill all of corn's nitrogen needs. In a container, some type of supplemental food is still necessary for best results.
Very nice video! I planted my first 'corn crop'😁 in a bucket.. Big bucket and it's going great! Now I'm up to about 3.5 feet of really green leaves..I have it surrounded by netting so that the silk will be able to properly drop it's stuff😂😂I don't know what I'm doing but I hope it's going in the right direction.. I'll let you know!
This is great, gives me confidence to try growing them in containers. Very comprehensive video!
Glad it was helpful! I'd love to hear how it goes if you do give it a try!

No corn as yet. But the baby corn plants are 4 feet tall now.
Did u succeed? Cuz I planted yesterday in a pot n my dog destroyed it but I did it again
I planted corn for the 1st time last year. Planted 4 into a half wine barrel. I fed my corn bloodmeal when it was about 18”, then once more when I saw silk. Every stalk had several ears and they were all perfect. I sprayed Neem oil on the silks at the beginning and had no worms.

And I see many are using a fish fertilizer and I think I will add to the plants. Also I planted early indoors and sprouted under a grow light and then transplanted. I am going to just plant in the pots outside next year. Thanks for your tips and instructions they are not only helpful but enjoyable to watch.
I'm glad you're going to give it another try, Janice! Best of luck!!
This is good to know. I am planning on doing some on the deck corn next season. Pumpkins would be something I am doing this summer in containers.
Got a very small patio. I am going to try this for sure. Thank you.
Have fun!
Thank you.. so far the best info I’ve received on growing corn
You are welcome! I've glad you found it helpful. Take care!
Jenna, this is awesome! I’m expanding my crops this year in my raised bed area. I have lots of containers to fill and never thought corn was a possibility. Obviously it is so I’ll give it a shot this year, thanks. I’m in CT so not sure when to start the seeds. You mentioned gurneys…I ordered potatoes and giant kohlrabi from them this year so I’m looking forward to that too.
Happy gardening!
Best of luck!
Okay, this video gave me the boost I needed. Praying I succeed 🙏🏼 😅
You can do it!
Thanks SOOOOOO much for great info!. 😊 I'm trying 🌽 in containers for the first time.
You're welcome- best of luck!
Thanks for the Information I plan to grow some soon.
Best of luck!
Good evening, I came across your channel and took a look at it. I am very impressed to say the least. My wife and I eat a lot of sweet corn so am going to do what you say. Thank you for posting this video, I have just subscribed to you.
Hello & thank you!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed weekend.
My coworker gifted me 6 corn seedlings 🌱 and I just planted them in a 30 gallon grow bags. I can't wait to see how they grow
Oh how fun!
I was considering growing some in pots year round indoors under grow lights, doing a few every month so they are continually ready for harvest. I have read you need 25 plants per person for a year and if you can grow them every money, that's 2 to 3 plants per month per person. Since they will have constant water at the base, and I will make sure the pollen gets to the silk, I am hoping to have a nice harvest all year.
I'd love to hear how they do under grow lights!
@@GrowfullywithJenna At the moment, I have 4 plants that are 3 feet tall and doing well.
Great Video! I have put off trying the corn but after watching your video I think I'll give it a try next year. Thank you
Thanks, Rob! I hope you do give it a try!
Thank you, madam... Very informative video... I planted already... God bless and more power...
Thank you!
This is just the video I needed. I'm a bit further north in Ontario so your videos help act as a decent barometer for what I can/what to grow.
Hi Terry! I'm glad you found it useful. You're right-- many of the same things that work for me, will do well for you too. Take care & have a wonderful week!
I should have watched this before i planted my corn. I have one in a 5 gallon and one in a 10 gallon. They're a little over a foot tall and it's been a month. They're beautiful tho. Now i know for next time, to go bigger pots and more plants!
Not too late to move the 10 gal one 😅
Thank you for this! Im in socal and was not going to grow corn because my ground is full full but i have grow bags left over and will try your method
Wow see I knew u could grow it in grow bags thank you for this I have hard clay soil in thr south and this is perfect. Ty ty
You're welcome!
Going to try first time corn in containers. Plus starting late July, zone 6, Willliamsport, PA. PLANT with my grandson, now 6. This year first year not successful with everything. We had extreme heat June and July. Tomatoes stay green, cucumbers just not producing, peppers and green beans good but nothing else. He is so sad, going to try new with corn. Thanks for tips.
I hope it goes well for you, Ken! It's definitely been a rough year for gardening in many areas of the country. I'm sorry to hear that your grandson is sad... I hope things start perking up a bit in the garden! Best wishes!
Thanks! so informative and clear. appreciAte you!
Yep , I am on my way to plant corn , have extra grow bags just laying around, !
Hooray! Happy planting, Harry and best wishes for a wonderful corn harvest this year!
Plan on growing soon, this was very helpful!!! Thanks for posting!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! Yes very helpful! I’m going to grow in a child’s swimming pool and see how it turns out!
Great idea! Best of luck!
Finally found a very educational honest and informative video. Now where can I find those plastic containers 👍
Glad it was helpful! I got my containers here: www.gurneys.com/product/potato-grow-tub
Ok 1 2 3 here I go planting in zone 9 right now. It's will be 109 110 & 105 the rest of the week. Perfect for seed germination ( or fried kernels) Lol! Wish me luck & thanks for the video
Woo.. and I thought my 90 last week was toasty! Best of luck and try to stay cool!
Tyfs!😁💯❤ you helped me a lot!
I planted 2-15 gal grow bags dbl seeded 6 per bag. Forgot to prune back both seeds grew lol!
Just picked 3 ears yay! Several still growing waiting on silks to dry. Zone 5-6 late start😁
Definitely will grow more next season!
Glad I could help and glad to hear you've had success- that's awesome!!
Love this video Jenna. Thank you. I have a small garden and always wanted to grow corn but couldn't figure out how. I will grow corn this season thanks to this video.
Oh good! I'm so glad you will grow corn this season!
Excellent video. I’ll do some in buckets that size. Just like you showed. Thank you!!
Best of luck!
I've done Corn in the soil here in Richmond, VA. Every year, the darn cutworms get to it. I've tried every organic, natural, method to prevent this. Next year I'll try containers, and maybe some netting, to see what happens.
Netting and grow bag helped my pumpkins survive the first wave of vine borers. Sadly, by the second wave the vines were just to long to keep covered. But at least I got a couple of pumpkins out of it.
Sorry to hear this, Jacob, that's very frustrating! It seems like containers + netting would be a good solution and I'd be very interested to hear how this goes for you. Squash vine borers got almost all of my pumpkins & winter squash this year as well. I'm searching for viable, natural methods to prevent this next year. I have the same problem as you- once the vines get so big, it's just not practical to keep them covered any longer and the borers inevitably get to them. Best of luck!
We are planning on growing corn in containers this year. Good video
Best of luck!
Great content. I tried corn last year with little success. This year I’m gonna try this exact method in the grow bags. Thanks for the guidance. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, John. I'd love to hear how this goes for you. Best wishes for a bountiful corn harvest this year! Take care.
@@GrowfullywithJenna I just planted them. Followed your exact instructions. I’ll let you know. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing such good tips. i like that you lined up the containers together to create a row.
You are most welcome, Pansy! I'm glad you pointed that out- grouping them together like this helps to further increase the chances of proper pollination, so I always try to position them this way. Take care!
We live on a small farm near Delaware Ohio and I'm always looking for extra places to plant some sweet corn, Thank You on this one!! I have no problem on growing it PLUS i have no problem on telling when its ready, just about the time its close, the Raccoons enter into the PROGRAM and take a bite out of just about every ear in the patch, A hot wire will be added to the S Corn patch this year!!
Hi Mia! Oh, those raccoons are too darn smart for their own good! They KNOW when the sweet corn is ready and they sure do love it! I hope that hot wire does the trick for you this year. Best wishes for a wonderful corn harvest & take care.
Thank you!!! Looks beautiful as well
You are welcome!
Awesome, this year is first time I’ve tried to grow anything and do to work I didn’t have time to make raised beds so I bought a bunch of Grow bags and I planted everything in 10,20 and 100 Gal bags. And everything was growing so good that I decided to do some more bags so I planted corn in a 20 Gal. bag and planted 6 with 2 or 3 kernels in each hole on July 6th. I no it’s late but I figured what the heck I no nothing about gardening but things are happening so I just went for it and they are all 3 or 4 inches all ready. And today I found your Chanel and to my surprise I did almost what you did with corn in bag but I don’t no anything about the fertilizer I just bought the Natures Care Organic raised bed soil at HD and I’m pumped. My peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers lettuce potatoes are doing great just hope my corn does the same, I will def check on the fertilize do you have a certain brand you use. Sorry for the run on I’m just excited things are growing and I found your video on corn and pumped I did it right. You have a happy new subscriber!
This is awesome! I'm so happy to hear that your garden is doing great... that is so exciting!
I use Garden's Alive or Gurney's brand all-natural fertilizer which I order online, but Jobe's is similar and available at some retail locations. I'd love to hear an update on how everything produces for you- and I appreciate you subscribing! Best wishes for a fantastic harvest!
Hopefully not to late .but I'm going to try containers.. thanks for the help.
Good luck!
I am doing this very thing this year.
Going to try this this year
Best of luck!
Thanks for the great video, in the plans for next year.
Best wishes for a great harvest next year!
I am planting corn in those containers right now. I did put one bush bean plant in the center. Hope it works out.
Best of luck Sharon
That corn is gorgeous! very inspiring and informative video. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I just planted some corn on April 3rd 2021. My first time growing corn 🌽 and I wanted to try it out this year.
You are most welcome, Terri! Best wishes for a wonderful corn harvest this year. Take care!
@@GrowfullywithJenna thank you and be safe and take care 🙂 I want to plant more corn in a few days
Putting beans in beside corn helps both. The beans give the corn the nitrogen they need and the corn gives the beans something to climb up. Companion growing.
That is certainly a great option! It is important for folks to keep in mind that beans won't fulfill all of corn's nitrogen needs. In a container, some type of supplemental food is still necessary for best results.
Thanks Jen!
You are so welcome!
Very nice video! I planted my first 'corn crop'😁 in a bucket.. Big bucket and it's going great! Now I'm up to about 3.5 feet of really green leaves..I have it surrounded by netting so that the silk will be able to properly drop it's stuff😂😂I don't know what I'm doing but I hope it's going in the right direction.. I'll let you know!
I'm glad to hear your corn is doing great, Alana! Best wishes for a wonderful harvest!
