corn silk
I found silk in the first ear of corn forming!
Like the other gardener advised, I pulled the pollen tassel between my fingers and sprinkled some on the silks, hoping for better pollination that way.

Wow!! this is so freaking cool! I'm totally growing corn next year! I always had this preconceived notion that you had to have a huge farm with fields to grow corn :p But look at you!
Nope, just a few do just fine, I think! The only trick is I'm hand-pollinating, as not sure if there are enough plants/wind to do the job well on its own.
