| The dreaded "kernel gap" on my unpollinated corn. |
Guide to Easy Corn Growing
I got anxious enough to pick an ear of corn today. Not good. It appears I have unpollinated corn as indicated by the bare patches on the cob (kernel-gap.) I've researched some hand pollination techniques. Some gardeners on GardenWeb say just to walk around and shake the stalks, allowing pollen to flow from the tassels down to the silks. They mention doing this when the plants are dry. If they are wet, the pollen may clump or the silks may stick together which might cause a problem.
