- It's not always easy to know when to harvest corn, especially if you're a beginner. In this video I show you both signs that your corn cobs aren't quite ready and how to know when they're ripe for the picking!

I’ve searched for 2 years of when to pick the corn. This is the only video that’s actually told me everything from signs to how to check.
You must be a teacher during your time off from gardening. If not, then you’re still very good at instructing in the correct manner!
I know mine is ready when the raccoons eat it all.
😂
Aww lol
🦝🔫
A RACCOON?
That would be why you put other foods out for your raccoon pal. Old cereal, old bread, pizza etc. He will leave your garden alone!!
Out of all the videos I have watched this is the only one that talked about how to know if it is overripe. Thank you!
It’s almost like it’s a secret or something sheesh
I searched for how to tell if popcorn is mature and all i got was popcorn ceiling asbestos crap
Another tip is to remember to shake the corn stalk so that pollen falls down to the silk and pollinate the corn
Thanks for the info. Growing our first corn and had no idea when to pick.
best video on corn ripeness! i have watched at least 10 others and this is the greatest! THANKS!
She 's a good chef and great sister , she care for everyone in her family , Hao's friends are lucky to try her food the first time :)
Fantastic! I appreciate these tips and examples. We are growing corn at our agriculture museum that is not available to eat by the public but that museum staff can enjoy. 🌽
Thank you This is my 3rd year as a city girl growing corn. I never really knew the proper way to tell they were ready 😊
Thank you for the best time to harvest video and not a waste of time!
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!
Your window depends on what variety you planted so this info is not quite accurate. The variety I grow has a week to 10 day window and I have almost no issues with overripness. I know society loves generalities but a 3 day window for all corn is not reality.
You are spot on with this video. That's exactly how my grandpa taught us on his farm. We usually had our corn feast on the evening that the corn was first ready. Grandma would boil the salted water, and then once the water neared the boil, grandpa would pick the ears for all the family to eat, and the corn went from the stalk to the pot within 5 minutes. I also remember eating some corn raw.
Delicious isn't it? And some wonderful memories!
Short and to the point! Very helpful, thanks very much!!
Thanks for telling me how to harvest corn
I am growing corn for the first time, now I have an idea what to look for. Hopefully I won't miss that window period, thank you.
Thank you. This my 1st time growing corn.
Thank you. This is the perfect video I was looking for. You showed all the stages for harvesting with clear pictures.Thank you again.
Great short and concise video, but you should mention that this is for sweet corn. I realize most people think of sweet corn when you say corn, but there are other types of corn. :)
This video was super helpful, thank you!
I am growing corn for the first time this summer. I was absolutely clueless when to harvest. Thank you so much for being so precise!
I am within a week for a few of my corn. Almost gave up this year but I'm super ready to pick my corn😃
Just retired and am starting gardening. Figured corn would be a good choice, seems like a beginners crop. Planted 48 seeds, 2 per hole, and got rid of the weakest one from each hole when they were around 4" tall. So, I have 24 stalks producing and needed to know when to harvest. Thanks for this video.
Thank you very much that was exactly what i needed to know. Mine is brown with no substance coming out. The silk is brown and i waited until it was brown all the way up. It never got brittle, so i didn't think it was ready. My first ear and i screwed up.
All the other corn harvesting guides mislead me, and I picked too early! I knew I should have started here!
Very helpful video! Also posted on my birthday. Thank you! 🌽
Thank you for doing this video. We grew corn for the first time and the first two cobs were awesome the next 4 tasted starchy. Learning curve!
Just subscribed. I enjoyed your presentation, no waffle just straight facts. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Awesome, got to check mine right now. Dallas, Tx area. Thanks for such a detailed explanation.
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 :
Nice video. Brief and straight to the point. Thank you
Very helpful, thank you! I planted corn on a whim and it did way better than I expected 😅
Great info. I picked a few early today.1 more week they' like be ready.
Thank you so much for this! 💕 I've been a Florida grower for about 6 yrs now but this is my first year trying corn out.. I was worried because the silks were starting to dry out pretty good, but now I know this is totally normal and I'm getting excited for harvesting time! Thank you again! It's really great to meet you and I really appreciate you sharing this info with us! 🌱 There is nothing like picking your own fresh vegetables, straight from the garden. Mother nature has so many possibilities 🌻🦋
Yay! I'm jealous that you already have corn! :) I hope you enjoy them!
i live in Florida too and this seems to be my best corn crop year..
I like your video, straight and to the point. A real professional job, thanks!
Excellent video. This my first try at growing corn and this is exactly what I needed to decide when to harvest.
Thank you for this.
Good video! About to go check
Thanks! Great info!
Nice one. Mine are ready 🌽🌽🌽
Growing my first corn this year I have some almost ready to harvest this helped alot TY
First year growing corn and it is doing great :) 🌽🌽🌽🌽
I wouldn't call it a waste if you wait too long. I like having some go to seed to store through the winter, and will take a hand full, throw it in a microwavable bowl with some butter and seasonings for a few minutes. It will puff up into parched corn, nice crunchy snack.
I agree you can always tell when it’s ready by giving the tip a good firm squeeze
Just what I needed!! Thanks so much!😊🌽
Thank you so much for that information. You are a lifesaver. Wasn't sure if they were ready, it passed all the test even the white milky substance. Thank you thank you
Awesome!
Thank you 😊
thanks for showing me when to harvest Corn I Never knew harvest window is 3 days. My backyard corn is waist high. cant wait!
How many ears of corn grow on a single plant?
@@uglytruth4467 I heard usually one. That is all that is on my first very small test crop.
@@uglytruth4467 depends on the type of corn. You will usually get one big defined cob on sweet corn with a smaller secondary cob but there are strains of corn that have 5, 8, 10 and more! The world record for most cobs on a corn plant if I remember correctly is 29.
beautifully done!
Thank you for such a lovely and informative video.
tyvm for info
TX you.
Excellent tips! Thank you
Fantastic thank you
Thank you 🙏. Great video
Perfect! I just made the ripe window!
Awesome. Thank you!
Really good video straight to the point. Thank you.
Thank u so very much!!!
Thank you. This is sooo helpful!👍
Great informative video. Thanks!
Very helpful
Great video..so clear and easy to understand
Good information. Precise and spot on.
Beautiful!!
good viedo thank you
Amazing❤
AWESOME TIPS!
The way u pick the corn can damage the plant. Pull it away from the main stalk, twist it. If it’s ripe, it will come off easily
Thanks for the tips!
im going my first corn
great information on corn
Great video, thank you!!! Growing corn for the first time this year... its almost ready! Now I know how to tell when it is time to harvest :)
Nothing better than homegrown corn! :)
I followed your tips, JUST NOW as was walking in the corn garden. Seems that the tip you gave about the tip that needs to be hard and solid worked really well, although not all of them were far away from the main stem..... Strange...
Different varieties could have slightly different growth habits, too.
My dad said also when the top of the corn plant drops down good sign she ready boys
Thank you so much!!
Aku suka videonya
Great video...
I'm in Australia and have seen earworm holes on some of my ears... how do i save the ones who have the worm? I've protected the majority but want to save cobs who got a worm... cheers mate.
Amazing!!!
Great job on this and other vids you have done. God bless jesus.
I sprinkled cinnamon on my corn to eliminate the aphids, so the silks on the corn have been brown😮
I planted mine too close to each other will that be a problem. Cuz I see ears on some but not on others.
👍
Blessings
If the tassels are brown pull it down! By Jason
What do you do with the original corn plant once you have harvested?
Usually I chop it and leave it in place to cover and break down into the soil. ("chop and drop.") Sometimes I'll take it out and compost it separately if I have another crop going in its place soon.
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?
In central Arkansas, we're regularly in the upper 90s and corn does just fine in the heat. As long as you can keep them irrigated, I think you could plant about anytime.
Thank you boo bear
Mine doesn’t seem to be growing very big. Pretty thin. Does corn need a lot of water. Like daily.
Yes it needs more water than most plants.
oh boy
How many do you usually get from 1 plant?
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??
Squirrels can climb fences, so that's a possibility.
about how long does it take to get to the ready stage? just asking if u know plz reply ASAP! :]
It depends on the days to maturity on the particular variety you're growing. But after I start to see the silks brown, it's just a few days away. Watch them carefully.
I’m sure by now you’ve found the answer to your question, but for others that may see this the corn is usually ready to pick about 20 days after silks first appear. Still follow the checks she described in the video to be certain.
Once you harvest the corn, here's the absolute best way to cut it off the cob: th-cam.com/video/k0bHziRAlFk/w-d-xo.html
What about milky yellow?
Should still be fine.
My kernels are white and not yellow
Some varieties of corn have white kernels. The same pressure test will apply. But if your corn is a yellow variety, the kernels will be white when they are very young. Once they start to fill out, the color either changes to yellow or stays white.
Lmfao 😂
Well done, love the way you explain how to. Corn has to be one of my favorite vegetables. Check out my TH-cam channel. Love to here some feedback from you.
Great video! Thank you!
