Nice title lol. I tried growing sweet corn a few years back. I didn't know what I was doing so I planted about 20 seeds in one long row. Most of them germinated, things were looking pretty good. Bit later in the season, the cobs start developing but the kernels were really sparse. Turns out you have to 'block plant' corn in fairly dense patches to get enough pollination for the cobs to fill out completely

Guess that's why farmers grow it in huge fields 😄

Live and learn

Is there anything you can do for your plants or is it a lost cause, try again next year kind of thing?
