Yesterday at this time my sweet corn crop was head high. Then we had a storm - badly needed the rain, but the wind was fierce and caused a lot of the stalks to lay down almost flat against the ground (luckily, only one stalk actually busted off).
This corn had not begun to grow tassles but is (or was) close to that stage. I planted late, we were still having frost in early May (rare for this region). The spring was exceptionally dry (also quite rare here) but I kept the crop watered and it was doing very well. I had just finished cultivating and adding compost between the rows.
Will the stalks come back up on their own? Or should I give them some sort of help? Would they still produce ears if they stay mostly horizontal? This has never happened to my corn before so I haven't got a clue....
