Hi,
I have 16 lovely tall sweetcorns, many with silks which are pale or reddish - there are some silks still to come. Many gave what I presume are the "flowers" (spikey bits on top).
I'm a bit concerned that I cant actually see any pollen flying around - there are little dangly bits on the flower spikes but they don't really look like the yellow stuff I know as pollen. In short are there signs I can look for to see if pollination has taken place, or is about to? and should I be doing anything to help things along at this stage?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
