How can I keep sparrows off of Corn Tassels. When do the tassels polenate the silks? Right as the silks emerge or later when the husk develops. (this is my first attempt a growing sweetcorn)
Steve, your corn is farther along than mine...it has been a bizarre weather year here this year, the worst garden I have ever had. Everything is late and what can go wrong, goes wrong. My corn is growing though, I have never had a problenm with birds and the corn tassles. I guess the little beggars eat everything if you let them, butr I don't really think that's a problem. You will see the pollen on the tassles... Nature takes care of the rest... I have always had good luck with sweet corn, I still have frozen cobs from last year! Bon Chance!
What a swell photo and a voice from Nature saying, "There is still hope."
