Harvesting of Baby Corn Shoots

Written by Mrs. Money

Thanks to my cousin who bought me the baby corn seeds, I only sowed 5 seeds to get 5 seedlings and they all grew up so well, after three months, now is the harvesting time.

Baby Corn Shoots Plants


After first harvest, must chop off from the first top leaf and its flowers to encourage more corn shoot emerged downwards, normal a plant can produce around 10 shoots



Still too young to harvest, let diameter reaches up an inch on first harvest, than 2cm on subsequent harvests


Good enough for a meal

The corn saved as seeds for germinating purpose, a love gift for my dad, he got the whole mature corn. I hope the baby sweet corns will slow down my old folks' aging rate!
