  1. This was very thorough and helpful! I did not know that there was such a short window of opportunity to harvest corn at the right stage or about feeling the tip. Great advice. Thanks!

  2. Great video…i live in southern California.. The weather inland is mostly dry in mid June. Planting corn then, will it b to hot in July or august? Or plant it in late August..its hot till early October here?

  3. Perfect. I watched a video from a more prominent censortuber and was still left wondering if my corn was ripe. That nice close up of the rounded top and specificity about everything makes me confident. Confident that I still have no ripe corn yet :<. Also, I heard about the prime picking being around 5 days or so…but I hadn't heard that it's ruined if you don't harvest it right away! That's frightening as I have so much in a very dense block. Oh well when I do finally get some, I'll be eating my weight in corn every day for a month. I'll just have to be searching very thoroughly lest I miss my chance at some of them!

  4. Something is getting my corn. We have a fence around the garden, so I think its birds…the ears are shredded and the kernels are picked off the cob. Any ideas??
