Hi Di! Another video short tip on growing corn. I don't grow corn in my 400 sqfeet, so have not tried this.

Triim corn silks after pollination to avoid pests

Save a click. All it shows it someone cutting corn silk from the ear after pollination.

C’mon! It’s not Wisconsin Sweet Corn if it doesn’t have a corn worm or two in it! ;)

I’ll pass this on to Beau. He’s in charge of Sweet Corn - for what that’s worth. ;)

For my garden space Watermelons and Sweet Corn are a no-go, though he TRIES every year to grow them both in his gardens.

His problem is that he LEAVES in July and isn’t back other than for a weekend here and there until November. That MIGHT be his problem. I think he thinks he’s Amish; Sew it and forget it, LOL!
