Sweetcorn is in it's prime when the raccoons tell you. If your unlucky enough not to have "coon inspectors" you'll just have to look for yourself. Some judge by days from silk or color of silk. Others like to go by the milkiness of the kernel, you be the judge, if you can't find an inspector. RScott

From what I know, go to the middle stalks, pull off an ear of corn, peel back the husks and silk, take a bite. if it tastes sweet pick it.

Peel back just the tip of the husk and silk and if you see formed full kernels to the end or at least near the end of the cob it is time to pick it.
Hope this helped with your question.

The silks will turn dark brown to black.
