Corn will display signs of ripeness when it is ready for picking. Sweet corn (Zea mays) grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 to 8. On average, it takes 60 to 100 days to ripen, depending on the variety. Knowing the maturity date will increase the chances of plucking ears of corn with the best possible flavor.
Sweet corn: About 18 days after silks appear, when they're dark and dry, make a small slit in the husk (don't pull the silks down), and pierce the kernel with a fingernail. If the liquid is (1) clear, wait a few days to pick, (2) milky, pick and eat, or (3) pasty, the ear is past its prime and best for canning.
