Hope you're having a great week! I know this video was made previously but just wanted to give some tips that have worked for me here in north eastern Ohio (I'm Kim too, I've commented before lol) To protect corn and sunflower seeds and really a lot of starter plants, I use the wire wastebaskets they sell at dollar tree! They have them in black or white, I spray them with a rustoleum sealer a couple of times an they last a few seasons, you can always replay them with paint later if they rust too. I use garden staples I get from Amazon to hold them in. Then when the plant is big enough (the wastebasket are a good height) you can take them off and they plants are safely established. It's saved me so many seeds feom being dug up lol! I've seen people selling the exact ones on Amazon as garden cloches for so much more but they are $1.25 each at dollar tree. Also, I live in the country and am surrounded by farms that do corn, it's actually planted in blocks even though it looks like rows, and the farmers always plant them close together and because of that, that's how I do mine, I figure the farmers know best probably 😂 I do about that same 6-8 inches, and do them in squares or circles since they pollinate by the wind moving the tassels. It's worked out pretty well, but I made the mistake last year of trying 4 varieties, did then 2 weeks apart like everything I read said to, spaced them far away , and they still cross pollinated unfortunately so the corn wasn't great. But they grew awesome! I hope you have success with it this year! Thanks for another video! 😊

I sowed out some dill and zinnia seeds, just sprinkled b/c I'm growing them for the butterflies, then got three days of rain! I was worried they'd wash away. They did stay put though and are sprouting. Squirrel pressure sounds so funny, but it's so real! Ours are going crazy for our oaks right now, or at least for all the acorns they buried last fall, so they're leaving all my plants and flower beds alone. For now.

Kim, I love hanging with you while you garden. Southern Ohio is a couple weeks ahead of Northern Ohio, so watching you gets me ready for when I can plant.

I planted ONE corn seed in my AeroGarden last year 😂, then transplanted it to a container outside - Burpee On Deck Hybrid. (You’re supposed to plant more than one - it was my first time). It got about 3 feet tall. We got 3 cute, perfect little ears off it and it was SOOOOO good!! Would definitely suggest that one. I direct sewed 7 in the same container this year, 5 of them have sprouted. I’m going to add in a couple extra seeds. I had to hand pollinate it, but it was super easy. I also planted 7 of the Orchard Baby you mentioned across the yard at the back of our garden space. Only 2 came up, but they look like some kind of bug has been chewing holes in them. 😢 Corn is so fun!!!

@HangingwithKim 🤗 thank you! I'm in blazing TX zone 9 from what I've read, so think I'll start easy with peppers & small tomatoes. Let the games begin! 😅

Can’t wait to see what you’re direct sewing in the GreenStalks! My first seascape strawberry in my GS started showing some hints of pink yesterday. I’m going to throw a mosquito net over that tower to prevent the birds from getting it before me when it’s fully ripe. Where did you get your garden cart/seat?

Also, I’ve read that you are suppose to keep varieties way away from each other because of cross pollination. But maybe that only applies with if you will be saving seed 🤷🏻♀️ I don’t know… I’m still new to corn. I have that ONE stalk of experience and all 😂

I've had several viewers tell me about keeping them separated. I'm new to corn too. We will see what happens. It was just for fun anyways, but I apricate all of the wisdom from all views - I can still learn.

They leave peanuts? At least they're trying to pay for the rosemary. Lol😅
