hey you all stream from where the yocals grow as you can see i am sitting in my front yard
once again and that's because in this video we are going to be planting and growing corn in
a 10 gallon and a 20 gallon grow bag yes you heard me we are going to plant and grow corn
in containers as part of the patio to plate container challenge so if you are new here
welcome and if you are returning i am so glad to see you again let's get growing y'all okay y'all
we are going to be planting this corn i grew it from seed it is a container corn that i bought the
seeds from burpee that is specifically designed to grow in containers we are going to grow in
two different kind of containers i'm going to show you this one this is a 20 gallon grow bag
and we're doing this in the bigger one because we're going to be planting other plants in here
we're going to plant a three sisters garden in this large one and then we'll be planting the rest
and just all by themselves in a 10 gallon bag so we're going to start this one first planting corn
is pretty simple um if you're going to start from seed go ahead and soak your seeds for at
least 24 hours before you put them into whatever container you're going to grow them in and then
we grew ours in our greenhouses so let me show you here's what they look like
all the way down they're kind of big now we're going to bury these kind of deep
because they've been in here just a little too long and we want to make sure that these stocks
stay well supported in all this wind that we have going on for some reason here in north
texas i'm not entirely sure why so corn likes our heavy feeders they like well-drained soil
this is the first time i've grown corn in a container
so it'll be interesting to see how well it does
now the soil that's in this bag is just a good potting mix soil it is the organic
miracle grows organic potting mix with yucca and
core pull it out and there you go it's planted in a 20 gallon container we're
going to turn the camera around and i'm going to show you the smaller one
okay as you can see as you can see this is a smaller container this is a 10 gallon grow bag
so the only thing we're going to grow in here is the corn like i said corn likes a
well drained soil they are heavy feeders so putting them in with something in a small bag
like this other than just them might not work so well so it's something to consider if you're
thinking about doing this so we're going to do it just the same we're going to bury them deep
you could easily put your seeds in the soil i just like starting them in containers like this
i just have better luck with them i have swirls who like to dig in the soil around my gardens
and so anytime i plant anything from seed they always seem to find my seeds and eat them so
i try not to plant too much by seed i try to start everything inside in my greenhouse
a little deeper okay as you can see i put two at the back here
all the soil around it but it's tagging then the other one i'm going to put right
here i think that'll give them enough room to grow in this grow bag just fine
now like i said these seeds came from burpee and this is a container corn it's actually called an
on deck corn and it's specifically designed to grow in containers for people who are in
smaller spaces so if you are growing corn let me know down in the comments what kind
of corn you're growing i assume that this is going to be a smaller a smaller eared
corn that'll be yellow or maybe even yellow and white but like i said if you're growing corn or
if you grow them in containers let me know down in the comments i thought i'd show you real quickly
everything else that got planted in the 20 gallon container with the corn we have a jade bean right
here and a cherokee yellow wax bean and then right in front is a honey nut squash now that's
a smaller honey nut or butternut squash so it should fill in this area over here pretty good but
there it is i just wanted to show you what it looked like to have everything planted
eventually it'll all fill in and you won't even see it okay y'all like i said before if you have
grown any kind of corn in a container let us know down in the comment section and i would sure like
to know if maybe you used regular corn or did you choose a seed that was specifically designed
to grow in a container that would be great information as well and then also the corn
that i planted if i can find it on the burpee website i will link it down in the description i
can't guarantee any seeds are left just because it seems that everybody is gardening this year again
which is a great thing but let us know down in the comments what you chose and what you did what were
your successes what were your failures and as always if you are new here please remember to
