Deepsouthhomestead.etsy.com If we are sold out check back every couple of days. It takes a while to get them packaged because we have a Homestead to run. Seed packing happens in "spare" time.

My pack, just 1 - didn't want to be greedy, came in Wednesday to NW Florida. The funny thing is that I'm going to plant it in MS, near DSH, in McHenry. lol
I also have a pack I bought several years ago, I'm going to try both packs on my 40 acres.

That is pretty cool .. the corn that we grow is an Osage native heirloom corn - perfect for here, because HERE is where it came from (technically, it came from a place a little North East of here, then spread all across Mesoamerica, but this is the oldest intact germplasm of zea mays that I could find) 90 days from seed to maturity, lets us grow 2 crops per year. It doesn't have any yellow genes, I had to look this up - those appeared in the 19th century and were bred by a fellow from Massachusetts named William Chambers. I was surprised the first time I tasted flour corn in the milk stage - it is sweet, with a more complex flavor than ordinary sweet corn, and since we had such a horrible time trying to grow sweet corn on the prairie, I thought that was an excellent quality. Now I don't see any need to grow a sweet corn at all - just eat what you can fresh, and dry the rest for hominy, tamales and tortillas. I'll send the folks looking for the yellow stuff your way 😊

Good morning! So happy the Lord bless you with an abundant harvest of Danny corn.❤

[jennyh]

Since y'all got that other plot of land..i prayed for you to get extra good harvest. Y'all work so hard. This weather is just a strain so much and hot.. love y'all very much. Bless your hearts.. take care. You look so sweet chatting on here. Wanda does too. I watched last Saturday night. I really enjoyed it. I hardly get to watch it all.. we don't garden and it's been busy in the family things.

Thanks so much for sharing, Danny on how to grow Danny Corn. I'm looking forward to growing some. I appreciate how and when to fertilize.
I plan to grow and save seeds for the following year. Will be good for my chickens as well as grinding for cornmeal, flour and grits.
You had some marvelous Danny Corn this year and it was great to see what you built to dry the corn too.
Thank you again for sharing this information.
The Lord's blessings to you and Wanda.

[texaschopper]

Thank you for sharing how to do this properly. I've watched your other videos and grew dent corn for the first time this year. It still has another 18 days to go where I live. Praying for the Lords help everyday.

[nancygrogan]

Thank you for taking us along with you as we watched you grow your corn. Praise Jesus you got a fine harvest. You teach us so much with all these videos and we can go back and watch them again if we miss anything. You two are the best.

[junkinjodi]

Thanks y'all for everything you do

[lorrismith]

Good morning!! So happy I got one!! Thank you!

[Dan-ywsg]

This is good information! Thank you Danny and Wanda!

Danny, for an experiment next year:set aside a small patch to grow Danny Corn with no fertilizer and keep those survivor seeds separate. After a year or two you will ween the seed genetics off the easy fertilizer. In the near future the probability is high that fertilizer will not be available or it's just too high priced for most homesteaders to acquire -- plus it generally reduces growing costs even if the fertilizer is plentiful, you won't need it. ... As far as the Smut fungus, Reid's Yellow Dent (which I think sets up the base of your DC) is more susceptible to it than other corn varieties. I grew Reid's last year and saw quite a bit. This year I have all red/blue/purple heirlooms in a landrace and haven't seen smut on any yet.

So much wisdom in this! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, much appreciated

[judyabernathy]

That was an excellent dissertation on Danny Corn. Thank you!! 💔🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼💔

[leardi]

I watched the last live stream all the way to the end right after I went to web and been trying to buy some seeds can't find them thank you for sharing your videos sure enjoy them. Stay healthy and God bless

[tammycrawford]

I've been watching for days. Love y'all!

[sandilacy]

Boy, that’s about the most detailed video that I’ve heard in a long while. Very informative Danny.

[SoilToSoul]

I think I just correctly placed an order for one pack! Thanks so much for what y'all do! I have watched the progress all year!

We got our bed almost ready for planting all the garlic bubils and bulbs from what we got from y'all last year. The weather was cool yesterday compared to how it has been, we were so thankful to get an afternoon in the yard and get anything done without giving into the heat!

I hope y'all have a good day! 🙏🏻❤
