Hey guys this was my first year growing sweetcorn and after a dodgy start where they went out abit early they recovered and grew big and strong with 2/3 corns on each plant.
The tassels turned brown but when i open one to see if its milky or clear the corns lookunripe, not very full, white and if i unwrap further down there are some plump yellow corns on the cob but not many, is it because they are not yet filled out and ripe?
The tassels have been browning for weeks and yet they always seem white and unplump.
Having never grown them before i don't know if i should wait longer, have waited too long or if they need cooking as they are?
