Had to pick all the sweet corn

[twomanyfrogsinabox]

Noticed today something has been toppling the sweetcorn and eating the cobs, I don't know what has done it, mice, squirrels or something bigger another night and they might have been all gone.

I decided if I wanted any I would have to pick the rest now. Just finished peeling and sorting the cobs, some are OK and big enough and full enough to use normally. Some are very small and under formed and can probably be used as baby corn. But some are probably too big for baby corn, the corns are formed but still very small and pale any suggestions what to do with them? I was wondering if I could make a version of sweetcorn and chicken soup, just boiling and liquidising the whole cobs and straining to remove any hard bits. Any other bright ideas or recipes?

I assume you are more northern than me, I picked all of my mine in early August and watched black birds picking at the top of my cobs. They didn't do much harn.

These the whole stems were knocked down and the whole cobs eaten, the plot is 'sort of' netted to keep most things out. The cobs looked nibbled so I was guessing mice or squirrels, it had all been standing and looking good a day or two before so it happened really quickly about 1/3 of the plants were taken out.

We were a bit late planting so a bit lucky with the weather for them to be ripening quite late in the season, but the animal life had other ideas.

Badgers.
