Not sure if there is anything much you can do other than praying for sunshine.
I have had sweet corn produce corn low on the plant in the past. If you have tassels hopefully you should get something. Good luck HH
Keep digging

That is the same for the crop for one of my plot neighbours. He put his out several weeks before me and they did look miserable at first.

Mine and a few others on the site are OK, but we were all very late planting out.  The weather however seems to have suited them better and mine are all taller than the early planted crop next door and still growing. Fingers crossed they stay that way.

Was there a difference in planting out dates for yours ?

Could it be due to the very poor weather the SE has experienced in the lasst two weeks?
