I recently also read about harvesting in the morning, but it was for lettuce so that it would be sweeter. Ditto for herbs, since the oils are up in the leaves more, so I guess it could be the same for corn. We just had some tonight that was picked at least 3 days ago and it was the sweetest I'd had all year - it was local, organic and just so tender, but I didn't grow it myself. I bet yours will taste as good as it looks! Just make sure to pick it before the raccoons decide it's ripe. :) My dad was an Iowa boy and he always told me the pick-and-cook-immediately thing, but that could just be folklore.

I'm a thoroughbred Cornhusker through and through and used to detassle corn in the summers of Nebraska. Thanks for the nostalgia! You corn looks GREAT! Oh be still my heart…corn!
