Today we had a whopper of a storm here. Two trees down and a few of
our bean tripods. Hopefully the beans will survive. But the trees
will have to be removed. All the corn was flattened as well. I
hope it springs back up. :(
Corn won't spring back up unless it's tiny. Best get out there and
prop it up. (I have to do that sometimes.) If the corn is just
leaning, a strategically placed wad of compost might be enough to
keep it upright. Otherwise, put a stake at each end of a row and run
some twine between them, looping the twine around each cornstalk to
hold it upright. (This is a two-person job.) With blocks of corn
you can run twine in a criss-cross pattern to prop the corn up. Even
the twine-braced corn will appreciate some compost packed around the
bottom of the stalk.
I owe you bigtime! Thanks so much for that fabulous idea. We are on
our way outside right now to implement the stake & twine scenario.
