Hello,
First time growing sweetcorn and my plants have flowered and the flowers have gone a little yellow with little long bits handing off them. Below, on the stems I can see plenty of the bearded bits from the top of the sweetcorn.
Question is... how does sweetcorn get pollinated? do the bits from the flower that are falling off need to fall onto the bearded bits?? (apologies for the technical terms... bits , bearded bits... but just don't know the names for them) :P
Is there anything I can do to encourage pollication or to help it along?
many thanks,
Vaca
