hi, we have had some bad winds today in north wales and its blown all my sweetorn over ! what can i do to save the rest of it? any advice would be most welcome

I have never experienced this,the only advice i can offer would be to firm the roots back in at ground level and perhaps try and stake them.I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will help soon.

thankyou
just firmed them in with extra soil..... im about to stake the weakest ones
would you believe it though... glorious sunshine.....bouncing rain and now winds? this planet has gone mad

It is my opinion that wind does far more damage than any of the other elements.

This morning I also tied up my sweetcorn which had taken a bit of a battering over night. To save on canes I put a short cane at each end and then tied a longer one horizontally between them which I then tied the sweetcorn to.

Yes, we've had wind which has flattened a load of my spuds & of course it had to be the main crop ones not the earlies which I'm starting to dig up anyway    But on the upside, my sweetcorn was ok last time I looked.  I'm not sure what direction the wind's coming from but maybe I need a barrier of some kind at the fron of the plot.
