when and how you detassel sweet corn?

I have a Small Garden and would like to know the correct way to deal with my sweet corn.

Idiots! Not even know the difference between silk and fringe! With the help of the two above you'd get nowhere. Anyway, the only time you need to remove the tassel of your foot corn is if you are increasing more than say a variety Silver Queen + Butter-sugar and you want to avoid cross-pollination. If you hand pollinate your ears this is the time to do so, remove the tassels. This is done so that never ripens first. You can view this gently shaking the stalk, if yellow dust falls from the tassel is ready, which is the pollen. I do three types personally, the two above and a few lines of maize Thanksgiving my wife's and Halloween crafts. So I have to do it twice. Good luck!
