Hi All,
As a complete newbie, I sowed my sweetcorn really far too early (end Feb!) but managed to keep it going and hardened off and planted out end of April. Anyway, it has really grown well, but my question is that I now have between 3 and 6 silks per plant and 15 plants. I thought that I would only get between 1 and 2 cobs per plant. Am I right in thinking that if (big if I know) all the silks got pollinated, I could now get 1 cob per silk?
And also, a secondary question, how will I know when they are ready to harvest?
