Filmed on June 20, 2024. In todays video we take care of some weeds coming up in our raised beds and then take a close look at how the sweet corn is doing. And plant some more green beans and sweet corn to be ready for harvest on Labor Day weekend.

i do a hobby farm here in Ny about 1/4 acre -we double space the rows at planting time -it works great and all the corn fills to the tip,not like the single row.We have been doing this for 27 years with success.great videos you have ,really enjoy watching them .

I actually harvested a few ears for dinner tonight, it was amazing! Hoping to pick about 1000 dozen this Friday! I plan to make a bunch of videos about corn harvest.

Great video. Your small weeding tool is a great invention. My husband spend many hours as a young teenager removing tassles from seed corn in Illinois. Hundreds of kids did it in his area.

Ever grow potatoes? I've had mixed success here in SW Ohio. 2 Years ago I started growing them in 5-10 gallon containers and have had excellent success with every variety I have tried. Harvesting is easy also -just dump the container in a wheelbarrow and pick them out. I realize this won't work for much more than personal use but there's nothing like home grown potatoes. Before this I grew them directly in ground but yields were erratic and fought moles and voles most years.

I tried it once by hand and had some of the same problems you mentioned. I just decided I didn’t want to make the investment in a planter and harvester and washing and packing equipment.

Great year so far for Ohio corn. Can hardly wait till it hits soon. Hey Jason, what is your closest market from Wooster?

Great video. I always plant my last planting of sweet corn on July 15 th -20 th. 75-80 day corn. It's always ready in 65-67 days. The heat really brings it on much earlier, last week of Sept. I'm in IN, zone 6a. You must be in zone 5? Just found your channel.

We just ran into the corn silk fly here in Texas. It's not something that goes far north. Basically has a 3 day treatment window with nothing but the worst types of treatments to control. On viptera corn it damaged 100% of the ears with at least 20% of the ear damaged. Final blow is maggots are emerging from the kernels. Nightmare scenario. Looks like the south Texas guys hit it as well as the sweet corn available is 0. Hot here, twin row crops are getting 6 hours/day drip and single rows are about 1/2 that. Challenge is on.

I love the use of glysophate in my giant garden but I can't help but think a cultivator might be a better alternative for you.

@wishwellfarms 23 күн бұрын

the cultivator I have works decent but tears up the plastic if you get to close and then you still have to get those weeds that are right up against the plastic.

@bobdoyon4275 23 күн бұрын

Thanks for the update on the farm! I have a question regarding melon vines. When the vines are nice and long but before any fruit can weigh them down and you have a windstorm that flips the vines over and tangles them up do you go through them and untangle / lay them back down where they were? I grown on plastic here in SW Ohio and twice this week had to spend significant time untangling the masses of vines.

@wishwellfarms 23 күн бұрын

We actually just moved them out of our drive rows yesterday, but we don’t worry about any tangles. We just pick them up flop them back on the row of plastic, only takes a few minutes to do a couple acres. They straighten them themselves back out just fine and have never had a problem, and many of them had small fruit on them. Fortunately the larger fruit early in the season stays on the plastic.

Hey sir just got my seed for last planting of sweet corn. And its anthem XR II. Dont you plant this variety?

@wishwellfarms 21 күн бұрын

Yes, we plant a couple acres of anthem, but I think we’re moving away from it for several reasons, it’s just not quite as tender as some of the ones that are available now and sometimes it snaps a little tough off of the stalk and it’s pretty tall, but still a really nice variety.

Hello you mentioned a couple videos back about not planting pumpkin's anymore I was wondering if you could speak more about why I am entering into my 3rd year of planting them myself and am fighting with morning glory. Have you got any suggestions on how to get rid of morning glory.

@wishwellfarms 23 күн бұрын

Many many reasons why I’m getting out of pumpkins but the short of it is that I’ve been doing it since 1999 and by the time October rolls around I am so burnt out and 90% of my crew is back in high school and college and I’m just sick of people wondering all around my farm And home giving me no privacy. Furthermore, my dad‘s health has deteriorated to the point where he cannot plant or harvest anymore so it all falls on me and my brother and I need to be available to help with grain in the fall. Also, I have missed out on summer and fall recreation for the last 25 years from being a Produce farmer and so many things have been put on hold and this year my wife and I are finally going to take our bucket list RV trip through New England for three weeks in mid October and if I had pumpkins again, it would not happen. The list of reasons goes on and on that’s just short of it. I hope to make a video detailing all of this soon As far as morning glory goes I’ve never had it my pumpkins and I have no idea how to control that other than hand pulling it. Maybe look at the herbicide label for Sandea and see if it’s listed. I know you can spray over the top of pumpkins with that when they’re young.

What variety sweet corn do you plant

Augmented super sweets, in our opinion and many other farmers opinions they are superior to any sugary enhanced or synergistic aka triple sweet varieties.
