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’s awesome! Glad to hear you had such a great crop!
Thanks for sharing!! I got a ton of grow bags at a yard sale and I’m thinking of doing the same for a fall crop
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 good info, im upstairs also & never thought corn would work
@@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
My first time planting corn in containers. Wish me luck.
Best of luck, Annie! I hope you have a delicious corn harvest this summer!
Nice
Good luck!

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!

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!
I'm so glad to hear your corn is doing well and surprised to hear your cat loved them!! Enjoy your harvest!
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.

Got my answer as to what size fabric container to get in the first 35 seconds, thank you. Im most definitely subscribing. AND I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!! reminds me of the "raise good humans" shirt, awesome!
Thanks, Chris! I appreciate the support and am glad I was able to answer your question quickly. I've not seen the "raise good humans" shirt-- I love that! Take care & have a wonderful day!
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!
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.
Best of luck!
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!
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!
You are welcome- and best of luck with your sweet corn this year!
This is a great video. Makes me feel more comfortable for growing corn in containers.
Glad it was helpful!
Yep , I am on my way to plant corn , have extra grow bags just laying around, !

Yay! Best of luck!
Very helpful information. Thank-you.😊
You’re welcome!
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!!
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. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
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!
That’s very cool CB! Did you grow sweet or field corn or both? And yes, that ear was prime! I gobbled it up right after that video was shot 😆.
We grew both. Silver Queen for us humans and field for the animals. I bet that was a very good tasting ear of corn.
@@CBsGreenhouseandGarden It was indeed! Hope you all have a great week!
Have done this in the UK and worked well just enough for us tanks for video as some was not full think not enough feed 😀
I'm glad to hear this has worked well for you in the UK! Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful evening!
Great video!!
This will be my first year to gown corn and in a large container, I don’t have much space for sun on my yard. BC Canada
I'm glad to hear you're giving it a try this year. Best wishes for a bountiful corn harvest!
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
Good luck!
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.
I'm glad you're going to give it another try, Janice! Best of luck!!
Going to try for the first time
Hi Paul, I'm glad to hear you're going to give this a try! Best wishes for a bountiful harvest. Take care and have a great week!

Thx Jenna was wondering how to do it in a container.
Thanks Jen!

I've never grown sweetcorn before so I'm going to try growing it in big pots. I've already started the seed and have had a great germination rate, so I'll just have to see how it goes.
P.s. hello from Cornwall, England 🙂👍
Great to hear from you, Ted! I hope your corn does fantastic this year!
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!
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
