I’m growing sweet corn (Silver Queen) for the first time this year. The tassels seem to be in full ‘bloom’ but I don’t see any silk. Am I being impatient or do you think I have a problem? We’ve had mostly normal summer temps (S.E. MO) and I’ve got a sprinkle system to keep it watered.
Sweet cornis grown commercially in the holler...Several farmers have put irrigation systems in from the river....need lots of water at the right time I’m told....I don’t grow it, most of my garden is in raised bed, a modified lasagna/square foot gardening method.
It’ just too cheap to buy to worry about messing with it. Same with any melon. Can buy them for a quarter or fifty cents...Bussel of second corn is almost a give a way.
