Today I'll be sharing the whole process of growing popcorn from start to finish including starting popcorn seeds, how to care for the plants, harvesting and even popping your own pop corn. There are many amazing varieties of popcorn out there to try and today I'll be growing an heirloom variety called Strawberry Popcorn. This variety is great for small gardens as it only grows to around 5 ft. tall, and it produces small red ears of popcorn which look pretty amazing. The kernels are small on this variety but they still pop well and the corn can also be ground and used to make flour, cornmeal and polenta. Next time I'm planning to try glass gem corn which have full sized, and multicolored kernels - they look pretty epic! I hope you enjoy this popcorn growing guide, and have a go planting your own pop corn in the garden! :)

Hi, I'm Kalem, and The Kiwi Grower is a channel featuring all sorts of unusual and exotic fruiting plants with tips of how to successfully grow them. I'm interested in all things gardening and love growing edible plants.
I live on a 2 acre piece of land in New Zealand where we are turning a grass paddock into and abundant, edible paradise! So come along on this journey with me as I experiment with growing, and try to push the limits of what I can grow in my area. I'll share with you my successes and failures so hopefully you'll learn from them and have a go yourself! Come learn with me and Subscribe!
