Can't tell how big this bed is, but I would have put the sweetcorn in a block, rather than a straight rowNannys make memories -

Lovey sweetcorn are wind pollinated so its best to group your plants together. have a read at GYO sweetcorn guide here. its the bit about 'blowing in the wind'

As your sweetcorn are on the edge,you could put some tall pots next to it & add 4 more sweetcorn maybe? So they're in a block of 8? It looks like you have 4 sweetcorn? Or move the sweetcorn somewhere else? More space for seeds? The least amount of sweetcorn plants I've grown is 6 in a block,like 6 on a dice,not in a row,then they can pollinate each other,but I help by giving the tassels a gentle shake,they're shallow rooted & can tilt in the wind etc. Well done you've done loads!

I'm not gonna add to what's been said about Sweetcorn but just to let you know Caulis can grow to 2-3ft tall.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Just knocked this up for the sweetcornComment

You're a quick worker lovey.
I plant my sweetcorn one foot apart in two staggered rows, which gets them into blocks sort of. Each row is one foot in front of the other.
Now, this is in one of the two veg borders we have.
Someone will come along who grows them in containers and give you much better advice.
They do grow very tall as wellNannys make memoriesComment

Lovey, get more wood! Make another 3! Can't tell how big it is - might get perhaps 2 plants in there ....
I'm SFG and (square foot gardening) I have one plant per square - got 15 in 5 blocks of 3 ...~~~ Gardening is medicine that does not need
