Disaster! My sweetcorn all fell over today in the winds

Is this the end of them? They were looking so promising and tall. I have put sticks in and tied them all. Do you think they will be alright?

as long as they've not snapped I think they will be ok.
(have been peering at mine anxiously through the day)

No, they did not snap. They just fell over from the base. Like the soil was not strong enough to hold them.

I think they will probably be ok. Fingers crossed!

You have to earth up sweetcorn. It does not like wind.
