I suppose I could have let him have at it without the stickers, considering his hands still managed to get messy enough, lol.
I went searching this morning trying to find your trick to tell if a corn cob is ready without removing the husk. I know its buried in the middle of another thread though, and couldn't find it. I can remember a little, had something to do with feeling around the top of the tassel and vague references to looking mildly obscene.......... but I can't remember the important part, how to tell if its ready to pick, lol.
I'd love to learn so I can teach Fred so he doesn't have to guess as much, and neither would we
Ok, so it kinda was what I thought. Next time I can catch Fred, I'll ask him if he knows that trick and we'll see if we can make it work I'm thinking it should be relatively easy once we start actually using it.

Love it! Kids discovering corn on the cob is always fun to watch. What could be better?

You grope feel the top of the ear to see if it feels "filled out."
