Sweet Corn

I know you all love sweet corn.  So do I!  The sweet corn is tasselling.  Do you see the tassel at the top of the stalk?  That means it will soon start making an ear of corn.  The corn is as tall as I am.  Maybe even taller.

Here you can see the beginning of an ear of sweet corn.  These are called silks. Silks are like shiny yellow hair.  There is one silk for each kernel that will be on the ear of corn.
