I picked the bulk of mine last week and froze them all bar 2 which we both ummmed all the way through. BIL and MIL don't like them must be aliens

That's OK    Oranutangs are well known for their abiding love of homegrown sweetcorn and cannot be expected to have perfect table manners whilst devouring the first cob of the season    

Definitely Mmmmmmmmm!  (hopefully the first of many in the next week or so!) :happy:

Picked two last night and we are there. Now what to do with the next fifty or so.

Freezing cobs didnt know you could, any good once cooked

Picked 2 cobs and a confused tassel last night. Even a little under-ripe they are voted the best thing I have grown so far...

[Yorkie]

Picked my first one yesterday ... yummmmmm 

Again it was a little underripe (either that or a little undercooked in the microwave  ) but by 'eck it were gorgeous

My first Swift cob - looking well filled, picked 10 minutes ago - will be cooked very shortly, and eaten to the accompaniment of some salt, pepper, butter and some very unbecoming yum-yum noises from YT hopefully! 

My daughter actually told me off, because every mouthful I ate I made a Mmm noise I didn't even realise 

And I thought it waas just me that made that noise! This year's Swift have been really long too. If I cut one in half, it would equal a full-sized one from the shops.

I had corn for lunch oh my i needed Harrisons bib 

He started crying to be fed half way through me eating it so i hoovered it off the cob  thank god i wasnt at a dinner party, infact thank goodness i wasnt i the company of any human 

[Wild Willow]

Thanks everyone, I picked up really good tips from you.  JayG, you are very close to me and your corn looks great!  I think I will take a closer look at the one cob I have previously checked; I have definitely not peeled the leaves back enough. 

Thanks again!

picked a couple at the weekend - they are delicious 

[TheWhiteRabbit]

We had our first 4 cobs today...they weren't doing the whole milky fluid thing but they were big, fat and veeeerrrry tasty! Got double thumbs up from the kids 

[chillimummy]

examined the top of one of mine today as tassles brown. looked quite pale inside but think will pick one to test out.  am really surprised as most plants look to have two cobs. never grown sweetcorn before
