Sweetcorn not growing?

[HayleyB]

Hi Newbie again here
I have 26 in a plot outside I hardened then planted in horse manure (approx two inches thick) then have kept them watered as I have been told they are thirsty. The biggy is about 2 foot at moment with others hard on heels. The side shoots should be left on - read it in a book.

Forgot to mention, mine all have three canes each to help with the wind.

Ive been leaving my side shoots on the leaders ar about 2-3ft tall all with what looks to be green corn in the middle some with a few layers of it???? They are getting bigger and bigger by the day and the smaller ones are catching. Although i'm not sure if I will do them next year as they take up a fair bit of space!!

I'm growing blue sweetcorn in a large crate converted into a planter, which has reached 2-3 feet tall with sturdy side shoots, but no sign of cobs yet.They were planted directly into the crate, in compost & manure, perhaps this is better as there's no need to disturb the roots?
I've planted some mixed salad leaves between them to make full use of the space, they seem to be doing ok.
