2 questions about corn.
« on: July 17, 2018, 09:42 »

(1) there are secondary cobs forming on my corn, if I remove them (they never amount to much anyway) will this improve the size of the main cob?

(2) does each 'silk' go to an individual kernal on the cob?

Cheers,  Tony (the source of silly questions!) ::)
