I just got a cob of corn from the garden, and it looks perfect on one
end, has nice juicy kernels that have a milky liquid and the silks were
brown (have been for about a week) but one half of the cob didn't look
like it had grown at all, I was wondering is this a normal occurance
with corn? it is the end that wasn't attached to the plant, its got the
kernels there but they are like a 10th of the size of the other kernels
and they have no liquid at all inside...


It wasn't fully pollinated. There's a silk for each kernel and if the
corn is not pollinated fully, the kernel doesn't grow.
