  I grew a ton of veggies today, it cost me a total of $30 for everything and my cucumbers are huge and delicious, my corn is doing amazing, lots of tomatoes and jalapeños. A lot of YouTube videos actually discouraged me from gardening bc I couldn’t afford all the extra stuff. So anyone reading this feeling discouraged by the cost- you can do it cheap! It will grow!

  A note on corn silk: you can dry it (just leave it in a mesh basket for a few days to a week, preferably in a sunny window) and you can keep it for a long time (1-2 yrs in airtight bag/container in a cool, dark place). You can use it to brew corn silk tea anytime! <br>Corn silk tea is a diuretic, and can help with ppl who have water retention issues due to kidney or heart issues, or just have swelling. It&apos;s used to help with swelling issues in Korean traditional/natural health practices. (Source of info: my mom, who is an OMD and an older Korean ajumma.)

  What&apos;s funny is, our chickens didn&apos;t pick up some corn we gave them, now we have corn accidentally growing.

  i randomly planted sweet corn this year to fill a plot i had built up mostly with compost last year, didn&apos;t expect anything at all and ended up with the best corn i&apos;ve ever eaten. &nbsp;going to do it again next year.

  Love growing corn- my Cherokee Grandmother was Awesome at growing it. She would go fishing first and use fish guts, heads and bones. She also planted squash to help naturally mulch under the corn and tomatoes all together. She used the corn stalks to steady the tomato plants.

  Just a heads up for those of us who live near massive corn production areas - think midwest corn fields - especially if the field are raising seed corn instead of feed corn... You will get cross pollination with your corn and the farmer&apos;s corn. You will have sad corn and the farmer may not be particularly happy with you. Make sure to talk to your local farmer if you&apos;re concerned about it :)

  The biggest mistake I ever made with corn was growing in my bed that has a lot of shading from both directions because of trees, garages, etc and it did TERRIBLE. Also apparently ants will attach and eat your corn. Didn&apos;t know that. A lot got destroyed.

  Ive been doing corn in small plots for awhile now and I&apos;d say my best tips is to tap the tassles into a jar as they become fertile. Wind pollination is great if you have acres of corn but if you want consistent full ears on a small plot then take the tassles, slide a jar overtop and shake vigourously, you will see the pollen collect in the bottom. use a paintbrush to apply the pollen to the silks.<br><br>companion planting with nitrogen fixers is monumental. especially if they also provide live mulch. I use three sisters method because respect to the OG&apos;s and my kids love pumpkins but there are plenty of ground cover nitrogen fixers that will throw your organic corn game into overdrive.<br><br>also... I love your videos but please, please PLEASE, don&apos;t husk your corn. throw it on an open fire or BBQ to steam in the husk. so much better than paper towel (minus the nostalgia factor obviously)

  The starter plant aficionado in me loves that you did corn starters.....I literally thought I was the only one!
