sweetcorn problem
« on: May 19, 2010, 20:23 »
My sweetcorn are still in pots in the house, they are about 5-6 inches tall. Today a few of them have bent over from soil level and will not stand up. Does anyone know what is wrong with them?

is it possible you over watered them and the stems have rotted? it seems to have happened to a couple of mine too.

I would assume that roots have hit the bottom and they dont like it at all. but others may differ.

I may have over watered the last couple of days. Hope they recover. The roots still have plenty of room.
