Everybody loves sweet corn! 💛 Which is why it’s so disheartening when there are gaps left gaping in our cobs’ kernels, like unfulfilled hopes and dreams. It’s sad. It’s frustrating.
Thankfully, Ben is here to tell us what to do about it, so that we can have the corn of our dreams; full, juicy and oh-so-delicious! 🌽

Golden bantan en tasty sweet. I did shake those tassels but i think the tip from the borderer is great as well!
That appears to be four square foot bed. If the outside rows are planted 3-4 inches in from the edge, then that leaves you 40-42 inches of planting area, therefore your plants would be 10-11 inches apart, if evenly spaced. Not 14-16 inches.
First time this year, i have the black corn, and the "strawberry popcorn"
Great, simple techniques. Thank you. We are trying Japanese hulless popcorn this year along with sweet corn.
brilliant – i now feel ready to do this!
Growing Sweet Silver King Corn, love your videos. Straight to the point
I am planting Seneca Sunrise, from Seed Treasures, and will help them with pollination as you have demonstrated. Wish me luck for a good harvest!
Thank you for this Ben. I am in the Bay Area California and growing the 4 sisters. I will go out and shake the corn sister tomorrow morning.
Growing my corn ok at that moment, but i notice the stems are lopping to the side. What can I do to remedy this – support with a cane?

Is it too late to sow sweet corn now in the uk?
I live in a very warm climate (coastal South Carolina, US) and we've been growing corn for 3 or 4 years (just a personal patch for 2, maybe 20 or 30 stalks). We did know to hand pollinate but did not know each silk needs to be pollinated for each kernal! Also, I was doing it wrong. I was kind of tapping on the tassels but not the stalk, and not using an entire tassel to wipe on the silks. We do often have spaces missing. We just got our tassels this year and are waiting on our silks! Thank you! Will try this! We love Silver Queen and are also trying Bantam this year.
Great content as always. I'm attempting both growing rainbow sweetcorn and in 4.5litre containers this year. Doing amazingly well so far!
Excellent information. I didn't know about the temperature. I am growing Peaches and Cream!

Growing Anasazi sweet corn.
I have two beds of corn growing this year. One of the beds is full of spider mites but the other is fine.
I'm growing glass gem corn and some white lady.
I am growing Silver Queen here in Northern New Mexico. This is my first attempt at corn. We have had a good monsoon season for a change as we are in a megadrought situation. Thank you for the pollination tips! I will definitely use them.
Corny intercourse.
Great video on corn growing. I also grow corn this year – field corn. Thank you for sharing your good experience
