Does anyone manage to get 2 cobs on a plant?

I have been picking inside (polytunnel) for several weeks now and out door
sweetcorn from tonight. Theres always a small secondary cob, but never
anything on it.

I'm in East Yorkshire, and nowhere further north than here receives any more
sunshine. (Climate probably comparable to Lincolnshire)


Yes, I've had a variety in the past that's usually produced two,
sometimes three cobs per plant on an allotment in Reading. However this
year the last time I saw my sweetcorn (three weeks ago) they hadn't
developed any cobs at all.

I look forward to them when I get back in September! Hope I'm not
disappointed.
