how long after silk do you pick sweet corn
We plant about 4 acres and sell sweet corn from a stand in the summer. Easiest way to know when itâs ready is to watch for the silks to emerge after the corn tassels. Mark down the date of silk emergence and pick the corn 20 days later. Stagger your planting, as the corn remains prime for only about 3 or 4 days before it begins to become over-ripe.
