Ive had problems in North Lincs.  Only 2 out of 32 sunflowers survived, the wind snapped one in two to-day.  Was concerned about my sweetcorn, will stake up tomorrow if wind continues

some of mine blew over last week. In some there were fresh tassels showing so I stripped back and got out the baby corn and it was very tasty; I might grow some for baby corn next year.
