Sunny 1 so true,
How do you know when to pick your corn? We have some good stuff for a change, so I don’t have any expertise.
My pumpkins are getting big too.

Gary if the silks have withered, which I suspect they have, they just ull back the husk on one ear and check it out. My bet is that your corn is fully ready.
With a little practice, you can also feel the kernels through the husk to tell if they have filled out totally… But at this point if the kernels haven’t filled out completely, I doubt they will get much better.
