It didn't hurt it at all. It bounced back up and the corn was fine! I too love corn! :hungry: I’ve had that happen to our corn a few years back. It didn’t hurt it at all.

I get so close and some natural disaster comes and takes it away. I can almost hear the March of THe sugar Plum fairy playing as I imagine the slugs that came and ate every last one of my radishes, and potatoes. I am sorry about your corn :( see… this is a perfect example of how my garden has been growing all season. I get so close and some natural disaster comes and takes it away.

Just a thought: could you put stakes/posts at the end of the rows and string a line, like a clothes line, and tie the stalks to it? It doesn't have to be super strong because it's just to keep them upright, since they can still hold their own weight... (my inventors mind wants to make a variation on clothes pins, with a big loop/hole to accomodate the stalks, lol.) Keeping my fingers crossed for your corn in your pretty garden.

In central Illinois we often get wind storms. Ours was leaning over like that early in the growing season, smaller stalks. I just hoed the dirt back up around the base and they did straighten. Here's hoping you can do it. We planted pumpkins to grow beneath the corn so now it is a jungle out there. The pumpkins went crazy. Blessings. I encourage you to stand it up again.

Farmboy's corn did the exact same thing two weeks ago when a horrendous wind blew through. We gave them a couple days and they're back tall as ever! Don’t say goodbye to the corn just yet.
