I wait until the silk is all but dry.
You can always take a peek by peeling a bit of the husk away and look at the top of the cob.
If still immature, put the husk back in place with a rubber band and check the next day.
Silver Queen usually produces foot long cobs of white sweet corn.

Dude I'd love to grow some "ghost " peppers. Man those things were brutal when I had them. My habanero is starting to show signs of growth too

I am actually in So. California. I vacation in the keys and plan to retire somewhere in the keys

I just googled and seeds from my tomotes prob. Won't be true to the parent.. But I buy the plants every year at my local Lowes Store. You can also buy the plants and seeds direct from Burpee online.

Bahia Honda is one of my favorite parks in the Florida keys.

Took these a few days ago, worst looking tomato patch I've had in years, the months of constant rain just destroyed them. Then to make matters worse, something is eating on about half the tomatoes that I am getting. Going out and looking at the garden isn't very exciting this year and kind of depressing. I probably wouldn't even post these if I hadn't started this thread! I doubt if I'm selling many veggies this year.

These mini pumpkins are looking good though...

Then I have some cantaloupe and some of those personal sized watermelon going

No cantaloupe yet but I do have some of those personal sized melons on the vines.

Bed of peppers is starting to fruit, I've been giving them some simple compost tea, the ones on the end here still want to yellow off. All the rain pretty well flushed the soil on everything. My peppers seem really late getting going this year, last year I think I was picking a lot of peppers about now.

Does anyone know what this is? I'm thinking it might be swiss chard flowering. Whatever it is, it survived the winter like a boss and was looking huge early on so I let it live, now it's flowering. Hoping it's swiss chard so I can replenish my seeds.

This pumpkin patch just came up out of nowhere, I thought they were zucchini at first, I've never grown pumpkins before this year. I might have thrown one in the compost pile though.

Here's my cucumbers... which are looking ok but I've noticed that a lot of the cucumbers I'm getting have this weird nipple shaped end on them, I'm guessing some sort of deficiency from the rain flushing the soil out or the roots being too wet to take up nutrients well.

Hey thats pretty cool. I just read a article today about Norway. They just started a beehighway with flower patches on top of building and fake hives for the bees to rest at. Going for miles. They are trying to save our pollinators.

That's right !! Im trying to do my part. No home depot or Lowe's plants, no chem pesticides and grow lots of flowers and made a bee water bowl.
Right on man, I have one Menards pepper plant this year (the other one died) and that's the only plants I've bought this year. I've used a little D
@davesnothere that is burdock and invasive in some spots . those "flowers" will dry to become the imputus for velcro...lol
your peppers are looking good just a little water logged i think .once they get a few dry cycles "n" will be more accessable.. hope august is better for you!
@Joedank Thanks for the ID on the plant, it's getting chopped! I really thought it was some chard flowering which I've seen once before but it has been awhile.

It has been drying up things are starting to look a little better and whatever was eating my stuff hasn't been back for a few days. My kitchen table is starting to fill up with tomatoes and cucumbers.
