days ago I saw the first sign of silks and it just happened overnight.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t take that long before they start growing and once they get going the ears will come faster than one would think.\u00a0 Once they are a good size I will then start to peel back the husks that cover them in order to know when they are ripe enough.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now at the moment not all my corn stalks
