Default Sweetcorn - How do you know if it is ripe?

Not the tassels. If the tassels are brown your corn will be soo far gone
even the poultry will have trouble eating it. Perhaps you meant to write
the silks? The silks on the cob should be brown but reasonably newly so.


Does this also apply to baby sweetcorn varieties?
