200 ears in a month means you have plenty to share.
Figure on 20 days from silk or the day the racoons have a party in your
garden.
You can feel the kernals develop through the husk.
Pick one and bite into it raw standing in the garden, no amount of
culinary skill will improve on that moment.
If it was me I would take the best looking ear around day 17 and sort
of sneak up onto optimum ripeness- it could cost you all of 6 ears,one
a day.
Got too much? soup kitchen, food bank, neighbors?
Enjoy

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
