Trying our first backyard grown CORN 🌽
I am not so sure that we are going to get many full ears of corn this first time growing it. I learned a little more about how corn is pollinated along the way and perhaps just a little too late to ensure well pollinated corn.
Corn does NOT rely on insects for pollination. It only relies on the wind. This I knew. What I hadn't realized, was that each little strain of silk that comes out of the corn cob when it develops, represents a kernel of corn! Each piece of silk must have pollen from the corn stalk tassel land on it in order for it to fully pollinate! I suspect that the number of green bean plants, planted with my corn, may have blocked some pollen from getting to the silks!
This one piece of corn on the cob was mostly pollinated and good and sweet. It had a milky substance release when I did a small prick test before harvesting. This is an indication it is ready to harvest.
I am a bit bummed as I suspect I will not end up with much corn BUT I am excited BECAUSE I recently planted some more and will try again 😁
