  1. Well, one can pick the fresh juicy cob, and peel off the leaves and silk; then stick a sturdy fork in the end of the cob, and hold it over the campfire or fireplace, and rotating it until each grain "pops". Then rub butter all over it and eat while it's still hot. Corn toasted and burst on the cob. Very delish. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Yeah it has to be in a greenhouse with us because of our climate, Google hangouts is a place where you can talk to other people online either through a webcam or just by a microphone and discuss about anything really. Thanks for watching Ray ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Me personally I would've picked the ear you showed a week or two earlier. Sweet corn is ready when the top of the ear begins to feel rounded off and the kernels are touching each other lightly. If you wait too long you end up with bloated kernels that looked squished together on the ear, and the kernels become chewy. Good sweet corn kernels should crunch in your mouth and be crisp.

  4. Hey Huw..cool video. Wow, 2013 you did this video?amazing! anyway, now I know when to harvest thanks. I'm a first time corn grower. I have 12 stalks to test and see if I could do it. Results are not shabby, I did good. Question: what do I do with the corn patch after harvest? Dig tham out or??? Your answer would be greatly appreciated.
