My sweet corn is looking healthy and has thickened nicely since planting out a few weeks back, but now its developing tassles already at only maybe half a metre high. Will it carry on growing upwards as the flowers/cobs develop or has it been stunted by being in pots for ages (I planted it too early)

Someone elses on our site has done this but his started tassles at a foot high. Touch wood mine look ok and are starting to take off

but will they carry on growing or is that it once they tassle? Should I give them a big dose of feed and hope next weeks hot weather gives them a boost?

Not sure and neither was the old boy whos sweetcorn it is, he is leaving his to see but he had never seen it in the past and hes been growing for 50 years.

I reckon they'll be ok - I've had a variety that did that with no problem - some are taller than others
