Default Corn - when to harvest?

Matthew Reed wrote:
This weekend my corn tassels opened and started to drop pollen. How long
does it take for the corn to mature? And how long can it remain on the
plant? I have about 30 plants, and will probably have about 50-60 ears
ripen. I have 4 blocks total, each timed to ripen about 1-2 weeks apart.
Hmm...200 ears of corn in one month. Did I over do it? :-P




When the raccoons tear down the stalks and steal all the corn, you'll
know that it would have been ready to pick in another 2 days. HTH :-)

Best regards,
