We are located in southeast Tennessee and for the first time planted some sugar baby corn. We have just eight stalks and they were doing great, a couple of ears on each, verying in size. Each ear had beards of silk and looked great. We left town for week and there were heavy rains most every day, when we returned all the silk is brown, even on the very smallest, one just barely a few inches long with a few silk strands. We didn't realize the need to count days to harvest but it has been around sixty days. I picked a few of the larger ears and had no bugs and kernels plump and popped with finger nail test, all seams to be good except for the question of the remaining ears. Will the ears continue to grow to maturity even though the silk is brown? Was this caused by all the rain?
Thanks
