We found them a nuisance to harvest, also; we don't grow them any more. Pam, what's your harvest technique? You seem to be having more success with them than we did.
The trick on harvesting is to put tarps or plastic under them---then slightly shake the plant when you get ready to harvest. I found the pulling individual ones to be a pain, too. Yes, be careful about the colors of the husks. They can be very toxic. They really need to get a beige color to be absolutely safe. My complaint is these things attract a lot of ants. They became snacks. People were using them for taking them to the beach a lot or eating while watching TV. People with small children loved this as well because kids would eat these. They fit the hands of kids--- . I could not grow enough last year.
