Sweet Corn

Question

My sweet corn was knocked over by the wind. Will it come back? It’s about 3 to 4 feet tall. If not, what can I do different next year?

Answer 1

Your sweet corn probably won't come back, but you've got nothing to lose by setting it upright. If you live in an area where high winds are typical, you can set up a wind break to block the prevailing storm winds. Setting up a fence or even hanging an old sheet over your garden fence wil keep the winds from taking out your corn.
