You're lucky scroggin to have sampled some already.
Will let you know as soon as mine are ready - plenty of cobs on each plan though.
My plants have been smaller than usual, but cobs as normal, about 2 per plant
I don't think mine will be too long now, they've all flowered and there are a number of cobs on each plant. They are a mini pop variety so not sure when to pick then, I'm sure you don't need to wait for the tassels to turn brown on these.
Zoomer goes off to see if she's still got the seed packet to read the distructions which came with the seeds
Oops...I can start picking them...the distructions say pick the little cobs at about 10cm, when the tassels are just showing and before the grains start to swell.
These don't need pollinating
Picked our first cob yesterday, hubby said it was the sweetest he'd ever eaten
And its one of the few things i can cook!
I could probably manage to cook it too!
