After much deliberation (hemming and hawing actually), I decided to yank up the corn that has blown over several times in my garden and try and redeem the space with something else I can get a harvest from. This past Saturday I went out there and pulled up about 4 stalks before I took a peek at one of the itty bitty ears of corn forming. Although skinny and not nearly filled out, it was a beautifully formed ear with perfect rows of tiny little kernels. Of course, having seen that, I left the corn right where it is...lying almost completely on it's side like someone in a V8 commercial.

Here's my question...if the kernels are there, has the pollination processed been completed and now the kernels just have to grow and fill out?

Thanks!
