Harvesting corn kernels for replanting

[Tom Elliott]

Hi all,

I grew some Honey and Cream corn from Diggers Club, and it was some of
the best corn I've ever eaten. Alas, the season is drawing to an end,
and I've got a few cobs left maturing on the plants.

How do I go about harvesting the kernels for reuse as seed? Any tips
appreciated!

Tom.

Home grown corn always is!

You'll have to leave them be until the stalks are brown and hard, and
the green covering over the cobs has dried right up. Protect from birds
and rodents.
