It's my first year growing sweetcorn and I believe that the corn is just about ready for picking when the tassels turn brown and a milky liquid is released on pressure from a thumbnail to the kernels. But my tassels are turning brown and dry already....the plants are beautifully healthy and the cobs swelling well but I am sure they can't be anywhere near ready yet!
So what is going on? why turning brown so early? I take it this can't be usual or it wouldn't be one of the signs to look out for....
