My corn cobs are looking plump but I want to keep some for seeds.
Could I break a cob in half to eat it and save the seeds of the
other? It's just that I don't have too many plants and I read
somewhere that I need at least 25 to keep up the viability. But I
also want to test the product. :-)

The whole cob needs to mature on the plant until the seeds are dry.
At that point, they can be stored for planting or processed for corn meal.
And they won't be plump anymore, but dented or wrinkled.

You would say that wouldn't you... :-( It's what I did last time but
i was hoping.
