I planted my first corn plants this year (silver queen) in a large former landscaping bed with tremendous soil. Each stalk has like 4 tillers, some of which even have ears themselves. I’m so pumped. Haven’t had home grown corn in about 30 years. Thankful for your channel!
Thank you for the update on Francis! I bought 10 packs of the fundraiser sets for Mother's Day gifts, and everyone loved them! I am excited for my Mountain Vineyards to start producing! May have to try this creamed corn technique! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just love listening to the both of you! My corn is coming along just fine - Some of the silks are starting to turn and others are that almost blinding white - Absolutely gorgeous! Some of those stalks have 3 and 4 ears on them! We've been getting plenty of rain here, too. I'm all stocked up on vacu-seal rolls. I've got one older machine that doesn't vacu-seal well, but Lord can it make some bags, and one like yours, Sheila, that seals like a champ. I'm ready! Greg - Thank you again for teaching me how to do this. I am absolutely in awe of that little patch of sweet corn, and y'all are right about one thing. You have to have a plan for what you're gonna do when it all comes in. I'm ready!
This year we planted 3 rows of ambrosia 110' rows. As of yesterday. Already harvested 388 ears. 304 went in bags in freezer. The other 84 gave away to neighbors still on shuck. We have had great success freezing our corn over last 12 years and has proven time and again to be of a great quality throughout fall, winter, spring. I still have about another 80 ears I need to get. Will give those away as well.
I grew yawls Yellowstone corn this year next year I’m going to grow yawls silver queen. So right now everything is cleaned up and sorghum sedan grass has been planted. Awesome show as always thank you
You all put out real good handy information on garden, very helpful to all kinds of people... We like the "Gotta have it " corn from Gurney's, it's so sweet that when the youngins figured out how sweet it was they would eat so much in the field we wouldn't have as much as we wanted to put up.... But we freeze it in vacuum sealed bags, on the cob.. It would be still sugary sweet in a years time, just as sweet as when you picked it right off the stalk.... I'm talking super sweet... I realize everybody doesn't like it that sweet...
Speaking of 🌽 I've got a question. Whe is my pollinators on the top of my corn putting off kernels? I've never had this happen that I remember. Thank you for your comments in advance...
I have always put a Bundt pan in a big bowl and put the corn upright on the top of the cone and it will everything stays inside the bowl. its just easier than just holding it to cut the kernels off.
sugar babies are pretty good this year......got about 20 melons with 10 plants. Should be picking in a few weeks. I had them in the ground about april 20th in NC. Only got about 3 cantalopes with 7 plants.
You talk about cream corn . Do you mean like can cream corn ? If so I would know how you do it so it taste realy like the can one . Thank for your help and making us know how to do things the right way😊
Greg we put ours up in the Cobb. We blanch it cool it down in a sink full of ice and then put on towel s to dry. Then we freeze it in zip locks. We cut it off the cobb after we blanch it and freeze in zip locks. We also cream it. It taste like fresh corn on the cobb in the winter. My mommy did it this way and her family for decades and it works. My jubilee is real good it's as big as field corn. I like corn with a little starchy taste with sweet.
I think y’all would like the VacMaster sealer. Its a chamber system & is more like the size of a dehydrator. It’s an investment but last longer than the one you are currently using (my brother has had his for over 10years - I’ve had mine for 2 years). It vacuum seals liquids & can also vacuum canning jars. I buy rice/sugar in large quantities & vacuum seal enough to fill my canister per bag. We buy meats in large quantities & I vacuum seal in serving sizes & it’s good for years without any of those water crystals that freezer bags have. The meat defrosting time is cut in half. I seal soups, spaghetti sauce, any leftovers & it all tastes as good as the day it was made. It doesn’t overheat or stop working with liquids so you can seal a lot at one time. Best purchase ever!
Great show! Always good to see Ms. Sheila! Thank you for the update on Ms. Francis! Prayers for her continued improvement! My corn is a little behind y'all, but I'm coming! I do freeze some on the cob, just because I like it! Just something about corn on the cob! Especially if you can whip out a bag of it in January! I cream mine the same way ya'll do, and I slice some whole kernel. You're right about the work part of it! I shuck mine right at the garden and the shucks and some silks go right in the compost pile. Then I truck it up to the house in bulb crates. Funny, I always seem to be alone when the corn comes in......hmmmm.
Very helpful information. Thank you! My problem with corn comes way earlier in the season. Over a few years, trying different varieties, by the time the silks appear, the pollen is no longer being produced. Even with hand pollinating, most silks don't produce productive kernels. Was thinking would try some succession planting so there'd be newer ones producing pollen by the time there are silks. Other suggestions?
Thanks, we really needed this video. First year harvesting corn and our variety is Silver Queen. Great, important information that we did not know. So grateful you shared with us.
How often should I use the Chilean Nitrate and 20-20-20 on my corn? I grew it last year but they didn’t even look half as big. This year I got drip tape and fertilizer and pest control products all from Hoss
We always fry up some fat back and and use the grease to fry up that field corn! Also some yellow squash and we love to cut up our green tomatoes about the size of okra and fry together. Will just knock your socks off... Soooo Yummy Much Love and Blessings
What was the second tool that you used on the corn I would like to buy one can I find in a kitchen shop thanks a lot great video wish it was a little longer
My Dad always planted "Jubilee" sweet corn, and it would always be ready around the 4th of July. Its just like you said once you harvest the corn, you must process it or eat it. We would usually process and freeze corn the same day that it was picked, what a job... but so rewarding! In regard to the excess tomatoes, how about drying tomatoes for later use?
I pick my corn put it in the freezer on the Shucks it keeps up to two years the shuck keeps it from freeer burn Put in on the grill while frozen. It cooks. Through. From the steam been doing it for years. It’s like the day you picked it an old timer Gave me that garden tip
I think you said that you add a little bit of butter to the bag before you seal and freeze it. Did I hear this right? If so, can you please share more info, how much butter? Thank you.
I always looked forward to the 4th of July - that was the time sweet corn would be ready. I remembering after the first picking we would have an entire meal of just corn on the cob. I could eat about 8 cobs with lots of butter and salt.
My Nannie , my momma and me , used to get together and shell many bushels of peas and 7 bushels of corn every year , and my Nannie cut sum off of the cob and put sum up on the cob… I sure would like to do that again , I really do miss them
Northern Grower here!🙋♀️ 2nd year growing corn but 1st year growing temptress and can't wait! Already about a foot high and fertilizing them like crazy. Zone 4b Black Forest CO 7800 elevation. Seeds from Hoss!❤❤❤
We picked our Temptress corn today. I was afraid it wasn't going to make because it has been dry as a powder keg here in Western NC. Stalks never got 6 foot but the corn did real good. I would recommend it but it is tougher to grow than an SE variety like peaches and cream. It is really good though.
My first successful corn harvest was in the 1980’s with kandy korn SE. I froze quite a few of the prettiest ears and cut the rest off of the cob. I put all of the cut kernels in my canning kettle, added some salt, and heated them through. Then I cooled it and packed them in pint ziplocks putting them in the freezer. It lasted until nearly time to harvest the next year. I’ve not had good luck with the vac-n-seal bags because, for me, they eventually lose their seal or air makes it’s way in, ruining my food..
I have a question - I hope someone can help !! we are having a seafood boil in Mid October (we are in central Illinois and the corn will all be gone in 1 week) Our boil will require about 30 ears of corn on the cob. What is the best way to preserve corn on the cob for just 2 months!!?? That's all I need - can I blanch and freeze on the cob or cut the ends and shuck a few layers and freeze. I understand you don't recommend, but what does it do to the texture? does it get mushy? help - where else can I get good corn on the cob if I need a back up?!
I would suggest to just freeze on cob, shucks and all in a zip lock bag since it is only for 2 months. Blanching does change the texture, but is needed for long term storage. Since you are going to use it in a short amount of time, I think you can just freeze.
I'm still waiting for my Mountain Vineyard tomatoes to ripen. Looks like there will be plenty for roasted cherry tomatoes to put in the freezer this winter! We roast them in olive oil, add garlic and herbs from the garden. It's awesome on pizzas and pasta and sandwiches!
Ferment the maters with basil and garlic and/or slice in half and dehydrate. Use in pasta dishes. Fermented maters can be turned into sauce. Just add fresh basil, use a stick blender and heat.
@@gardeningwithhoss I have several nesco snackmasters with 10 trays. These trays are deep enough to dry apple, peach and pear slices like our grandparents did for fried pies. Not those super thin slices. Choose a dehydraytor with a thermostat which heats 155 to 160 if you wish to make jerky. Yum! Excalibur is a popular brand too. Oh, dehydrated watermelon is tasty too. Onions are great.
When freezing fish in a vacuum sealer my stepdad puts a strip of paper towel between the product and the sealer in the bag so it doesnt suck up juice and ruin the sealer. Just a little tip I thought I would share.
Corn is work. Back in the 60s, my dad had a friend with a dairy farm. He grew field corn for silage and when it was ready we would pick a truck bed full and those stalks would eat you up because it was too hot to wear long sleeves. Daddy would back the truck up to the picnic table and we would shuck and chop the ends off with a meat cleaver and pass it to momma to silk. We would tote dishpans full of corn to the kitchen where she would cut it off the cob and we'd tote out dishpans full of cobs.
Do your corn same way. Then cut off the corn you put corn in a pan add sugar and butter and heat for about 20: minutes and put in ziplock and freeze. When you take it out just put in pan heat it. You will love it.
@@gardeningwithhoss 12 corn cobs kernels removed. 1 package 1 - 3/4 oz powdered fruit pectin. 3 1/2 - 4 cups sugar. One to two drops yellow food coloring. 3 1/2 - 4 cups of water from boiling the corn cobs. 1. Remove corn kernels from cobs and save for other things. 2. In a large pot drop corn cobs with about 6-8 cups of water, bring to a boil uncovered for about 10 - 15 minutes. 3. Throw away or feed to livestock the cobs and strain the liquid to remove any pieces. 4. Reserve 3 1/2 cups of liquid. 5. Place the corn cob water back into the large pot and stir in the pectin. Bring to a strong boil. 6. Add the sugar and bring back to a boil. 7. Skim the foam off the top and add a few drops of yellow food coloring.8. Ladle the liquid into jelly jars, leaving about 1/2 to 1 inch head space. 9. Place the seal and ring on the jars and process the jelly in a water bath for about 10 -15 min. 10. Remove and set a side and listen for them to seal. 11. If some don't seal put into refrigerator and use first.
Thanks love yall.....my experience is if the cob is blanched 8-10 mins before scraping off the cob it will not be flying all over the place. Just sayin....works for me.
So much easier to get a bundt pan and put the end of the cob in the middle hole and cut the kernels off. The corn falls in the pan. Hold it on the top and you don't have to worry about cutting your fingers.
@@gardeningwithhoss any more to that or just strait forward pollination? I guess what I’m asking is I’ve tried one row and half never got any growth but three or 4 rows grow very well why can’t I just grow one row?
@@oklahomachris6298 corn is wind pollinated and having a single long row doesn’t get the pollen down on the silks. For smaller gardens you should plant them in blocks and not in rows. I experimented this year growing corn in 20 gallon fabric pots, and had a great crop.
@@oklahomachris6298 When pollination takes place you can go out there and walk between your rows and tap the stocks and allow the pollen to fall onto the silks sometimes you can do this twice a day And sometimes if you listen really hard you can hear the corn growing
Hey Y'all when you get to the sealin part , bag your corn stand your bags up in the freezer for 3 hours or so then pull you bags out an vacuum seal them . The liquid will not suck out during the vacuum process and you won't get ice crystals in with your corn . Thank you for your show Y'all.
👍 Vinegar Bombs? Maybe you can call that tomato canning type. It is something you could use in place of salad dressing. Just put the vinegar bomb tomatoes on top of lettuce 🙂
Always glad when Mr. and Mrs. Hoss are on the Row by Row show....thanks ya'll

When. You blanch your cream corn in the microwave do you add water or just the corn
Just the corn, no water
We shuck it & freeze it in vacuum sealed bags. It tastes great.
What is the name of those tomatoes that the show was started with? Thanks
Mountain Vineyard.
You was showing us how to put up corn We vacuum seal ours so we can just seal our bags and it will be ok?
It will be OK, but blanching helps stop the enzyme process and helps preserve it for longer storage. It also enhances color and taste.
@@gardeningwithhoss Thanks
I pick my corn put it in the freezer on the Shucks it keeps up to two years the shuck keeps it from freeer burn Put in on the grill while frozen. It cooks. Through. From the steam been doing it for years. It’s like the day you picked it an old timer Gave me that garden tip
May have to try this
Can u cream it after you freeze it?? Ty
We also freeze it in the shuck and it cooks up great. We also add milk to the boil water and it helps the sweetness of the corn.
I think you said that you add a little bit of butter to the bag before you seal and freeze it. Did I hear this right? If so, can you please share more info, how much butter? Thank you.
No, only add butter when I cook. I add 4 tablespoons.
I've fermented tomatoes with garlic and banana peppers. Really good but doesn't take long. Couple days then refrigerate or they're over done imo.
Sounds great, Michelle!
Sure wish I had gotten that silking brush on my last order!
Never to late, they are going fast

6-8 cups
Mountain Vineyards my absolute favorite.
They are delicious!
Is there any way you can prevent corn from blowing over.Ever year my corn gets 7 feet and a storm comes through and blows it over.I heel it twice.
Afraid not. Other than hilling It usually will stand back up to some point with a good day of sunshine.
your corn may not be getting enough sun, hence the height?!?!? I usually get out a bunch of stakes and start propping them all up..
Is the corn ok to leave a little air in the bag?
yes

What about using the tomatoes to make spaghetti sauce or stewed tomatoes to use in soup or chili.
We canned some Italian style later to do thaw with.

Sounds very familiar. But so rewarding
Well I did cream my corn...but I did not blanch it. Am I in trouble? Will it ruin without blanching ? Oh me
Blanching stops enzyme actions which otherwise cause loss of flavor, color and texture. It is fine to eat, just better if blanched.
@@gardeningwithhoss well I just dropped in another round of hoss peaches and cream so I will know on this next round. Thanks
Made in USA! Yay!
Thanks for watching.
Good show. Green tomatoes pickle much better. Ripe ones are soft and become soggy.
We thought about adding the green ones. will definitely try next time.
You can use those cobs to make corncob jelly. It's delicious!
Never tried the jelly. please share your recipe
Just boil the cobs down and use the juice! It's 5 cups juice, 7 cups sugar, and 1 box of Sure Jell. We love it.
Thank you.
Do your corn same way. Then cut off the corn you put corn in a pan add sugar and butter and heat for about 20: minutes and put in ziplock and freeze. When you take it out just put in pan heat it. You will love it.
Use the cobbs to make corn cob jelly. Taste like honey. 🍯
Details please!
@@gardeningwithhoss 12 corn cobs kernels removed. 1 package 1 - 3/4 oz powdered fruit pectin. 3 1/2 - 4 cups sugar. One to two drops yellow food coloring. 3 1/2 - 4 cups of water from boiling the corn cobs.
1. Remove corn kernels from cobs and save for other things.
2. In a large pot drop corn cobs with about 6-8 cups of water, bring to a boil uncovered for about 10 - 15 minutes.
3. Throw away or feed to livestock the cobs and strain the liquid to remove any pieces.
4. Reserve 3 1/2 cups of liquid.
5. Place the corn cob water back into the large pot and stir in the pectin. Bring to a strong boil.
6. Add the sugar and bring back to a boil.
7. Skim the foam off the top and add a few drops of yellow food coloring.8. Ladle the liquid into jelly jars, leaving about 1/2 to 1 inch head space.
9. Place the seal and ring on the jars and process the jelly in a water bath for about 10 -15 min.
10. Remove and set a side and listen for them to seal.
11. If some don't seal put into refrigerator and use first.
Grandma didn't let nothing go to waste 😆.
Good information
Thanks love yall.....my experience is if the cob is blanched 8-10 mins before scraping off the cob it will not be flying all over the place. Just sayin....works for me.
I’ve loved vinegar on sliced tomatoes since childhood.
Everyone else loved it too. Gonna have to think twice about having him try it live again
We process and put up our corn just like y'all. I can't wait to taste this year's crop. I'm trying the Incredible variety that I bought from Hoss.
My mom would to pickle green tomato's and onions together with vinegar and garlic
Everyone else loved the tomatoes.
Those one ball squash are the best I've ever had. Getting almost no male flowers.
So much easier to get a bundt pan and put the end of the cob in the middle hole and cut the kernels off. The corn falls in the pan. Hold it on the top and you don't have to worry about cutting your fingers.
Great tip!
I use hoss corn brush. Works great
yes We agree
Why does corn seem to grow better when there is more than two rows is there something to that?
pollination
@@gardeningwithhoss any more to that or just strait forward pollination? I guess what I’m asking is I’ve tried one row and half never got any growth but three or 4 rows grow very well why can’t I just grow one row?
@@oklahomachris6298 corn is wind pollinated and having a single long row doesn’t get the pollen down on the silks. For smaller gardens you should plant them in blocks and not in rows. I experimented this year growing corn in 20 gallon fabric pots, and had a great crop.
@@oklahomachris6298 When pollination takes place you can go out there and walk between your rows and tap the stocks and allow the pollen to fall onto the silks sometimes you can do this twice a day And sometimes if you listen really hard you can hear the corn growing
Hey Y'all when you get to the sealin part , bag your corn stand your bags up in the freezer for 3 hours or so then pull you bags out an vacuum seal them . The liquid will not suck out during the vacuum process and you won't get ice crystals in with your corn . Thank you for your show Y'all.
great tip
Food preservation is half the battle in garden. Nothing beats some good corn on the cob - On the BBQ with lots of salt and butter.
yes lots of butter
👍 Vinegar Bombs? Maybe you can call that tomato canning type. It is something you could use in place of salad dressing. Just put the vinegar bomb tomatoes on top of lettuce 🙂
Agreed. they are great on bed of lettuce
Y'all need to try pickle green tomatoes and pickle corn
We will have to give that a try!
try to can bout half freeze just like you do most of rest and a few ears probably 25 ears or so freeze on cob.
Good idea, Tray! It's good stuff!
Slice the Mountain Vineyard maters in half lengthwise and put them in the dehydrator. Eat like candy.
Need to ferment those tomato’s
Yes, we need to try that
