Sweetcorn Question

No probs Shiney, all makes good reading :thumb:

 

.....update on the Sweetcorn; well there are between 2 and 3 cobs developing nicely (quite quickly too :D) on each plant, which considering they've only managed to get to between 4 and 5ft tall isn't too bad :thumb:

Question though, what's the best way to know when they are ready?? :thumb:

 

Keep an eye on the silky green tassels at the top of each cob. When these start to turn brown and begin to dry off, the cobs should be ready for picking.
If you're still not sure, gently peel back a few of the leaves around the top of the cob until you reveal a few of the kernels. If they are a pale golden yellow in colour then they're ripe for picking.

 

When the snails have eaten all the silks, then its usually ready.

 

Snails; what are them :D........even after the current wet weather not seen any snails really, just an odd slug...........lots of frogs though and evidence of hedgehogs :thumb:

 

There is a Hedgepig on West Bay plot, saw him about 3am.

Not like this one though,
